Ensuring a control is visible before processing commences

Guest · Apr 9, 2004

What is the best way to ensure a control is visible to a user before processing commences? I want to make a label visible using "label.visible = True" but the processing that immediately follows this statement is CPU intensive and the label does not actually get displayed until the processing completes in about 10 seconds

Right after the Visible = True put an Application.DoEvents statement

Try:

label.refresh();
Application.DoEvents();

To give it a chance to re-paint itself?
