Trying to get the SF wait window control to behave like my old friend THE wait window.



I looked thruough all the overloads and dont see the ability to pause.



I am looping through a few dozen files and want to put in enough of a pause so that each wait window displays the filename is briefly visible. Right now it processes so fast all I see is the last one.



My code:



While en.MoveNext

information = My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFileInfo(CStr(en.Current))

Me.WaitWindow1.ShowWaitWindow("", information.FullName, MicroFour.StrataFrame.Messaging.MessagingCardinalPosition.NorthEast)

'Me.WaitWindow1.HideWaitWindow()

filecount += 1

End While

Are the problems you're having unexpected ThreadAbortExceptions?  Likely thrown within the WndProc for WM_PAINT messages?  If so, we've made changes to fix that very issue.  You should be able to go to the posted updates forum from the board home and find the latest version that will fix that very issue. 

Now, if that's not your issue, you might need to expound upon what it is.  At the moment, there's no way to prevent the wait window from using the fade effect... it always fades in/out.

Yeah, they are ThreadAbortExceptions. I'll give the latest release a try and see if it clears up.

Thanks.

Excellent... let me know one way or another.  Thanks.
