Hi,



found something out about it:



--------------------

private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

//-- Show the wait window

this.waitWindow1.ShowWaitWindow("TITLE!", "MESSAGE!", MicroFour.StrataFrame.Messaging.MessagingCardinalPosition.Center);

//-- Pause the thread

System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(500);

//-- Hide the wait window

this.waitWindow1.HideWaitWindow();

}

-------------------



sleep(500) will let sleeping the system 500ms and seems to keep the wait window from showing. After that the HideWaitWindow() takes place immediately, so the waitWindow is never shown.



Comment out the HideWaitWindow and try it with Sleep(5000).



Bug or feature? ;-)



As a workaround one can use something from the infoBox class, which will work as expected.



Friendly greetings,



Ralph

yes sir it does........

If I try and put a WaitWindow with a pause in any looping structure other than a very simple one I get the error below, just a WaitWindow alone causes no error, but does not display until the end one:



As in doing a read thru an XmlTextReader or looping thru a datatable ....

I created a quick test and it seemed to work fine for me.  I attached the sample project I created.

yeah, that's what I did as well... that's strange.  If you take out everything except

Me.WaitWindow1.ShowWaitWindow("hi")

Does it display when you click the button?

I just put your code in a button click event, the simplest implementation I could think of just to get it working.

Keith Chisarik

Hrm, it worked for me... when are you showing that wait window? in the Load of a form? or after the form is already up?

That does nothing as well for me Ben

Keith Chisarik

Try this:

Me.WaitWindow1.ShowWaitWindow("hi")

System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(5000)

For x As Integer = 1 To 5
    Me.WaitWindow1.Message = x.ToString
    System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000)
Next

Me.WaitWindow1.HideWaitWindow()

Please tell me why the below code will not work. I think it should display a wait window that says "hi" for 5 seconds, then count from 1 to 5. It does neither. Please help.



Me.WaitWindow1.Message = "hi"

Me.WaitWindow1.ShowWaitWindow()



System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(5000)



Dim x As Integer

For x = 1 To 5

Me.WaitWindow1.Message = x.ToString

Me.WaitWindow1.ShowWaitWindow()

System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000)

'Me.WaitWindow1.HideWaitWindow() (optional)

Next
