Hallo all,
I have these two problems:
1) I use a checkbox placed over a rectangular with a fill color. The
strange
this is that the checkbox is not transparent. I mean that I can see
the
boundaries of the checkbox having different color (that gray/silver
from the
OS) and I cant find a way to change the background color for this
(rb2008r2,MacOS)
I think you'll need to use a composited window. Unfortunately,
composited windows have issues.
2) I have a lengthy procedure running and I am trying to use a
progress bar
(rb2008r1,WinXP). What happens is that the program runs but the user
cant
see the progress bar been updated because the window with the bar
does not
draw it self. The program is busy with the procedure and the window
is at
an "Not Responding" state. After that I can see the bar full and the
procedure to end
Do I have to put it in a thread? But I don't want the user to do other
things. He has to wait to finish. I have tried it with a timer but
the same
thing happens.
You should put the procedure in a thread and somehow prevent the user
from proceeding while the procedure is running.
