[archive] process and minimize

[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 21 June 2005]

I find this problem:

When i run a process inside a program, a loop like the example, and then minimize the program, if i maximize again the program it seems like is hanged or the window turns blank until the process ends.

There is a way to resolve this?

You should add a display inside your loop.
sometimes you also need a dummy-accept like this:

accept adummy off line 1 col 0 time 0,1


if each single round in your loop is very fast, you should maybe use a counter and do the display/accept only each 10th time you pass the loop.

simply try and adjust how often you need the display/accept .;)


hope this will fix your problem.

we had also the same problem. We solved it to show an extra window in a thread during the process...

Another method which we use is to say every 10 records do an "ACCEPT WS-INPUT-STATUS FROM INPUT STATUS" which causes the windows events to be processed. It's good for counters which update a label on the screen whislt doing loads of IO.
