- I have a question/problem regarding a label widget. I am doing a
- very time consuming task and while I task is in progress, I want
- to change a string to represent a status message. However, the
- message will not be updated until the program gets back to the
- main loop (or I process events). I am stuck here - when I change
- the text, the label will blank but not update - why not. Was the
- author trying to save a call and wait for a refresh event? I
- would like to hear about any experiences you might have/or ideas
- on this subject. Please E-Mail your responses.

- Thanks in advance.
