main form render...refresh....programatically etc

[JH]

I have an application that runs for many minutes. During this time if i open
other applications the form becomes all white i.e it does not render or
refresh the window. Is there a way (programatically) to render or refresh
the main form window.......

any idea on this and related issues is appreciated.
Thanks

Use threads or simply throw in some Application.DoEvents

In addition to Greg,

Set that do events in a loop as this
do while MyProcessIsNotReady
threading.thread.sleep(1000)
application.doevents
loop

Otherwise a lot of power is spended to that loop.

I hope this helps.
