form not refreshing when clicked

[Guest]

Hello All,

I have a windows application where I am running a bit of code in a module
and updating a multi-lined textbox control on a form for each line of code
executed.

example:
purged old records
adding new records
updating tables with new record information
etc.

This is working well except for when I click on the form, the form will
appear to freeze and new actions are not written to the text control. In
debug the textbox is being updated, it is just not displaying. Once the
process has completed the form seems to refresh and all of the text is
displayed.

I have tried using form.refresh, textbox.refresh, form.update,
textbox.update, and the form.active all with the same results. I am
developing in .net 2003 and running windows XP.

Thank you,

Rich

Try adding a Application.DoEvents() call after updating the textbox.
