Hi,

I am working on refactoring the following code. Currently the code (pretty long, about 2000 lines) is executed in a method of a button click. And I am "moving" this code to a method of a Biz class.
The form, on which the button reside, has text box controls that shows the progress. E.g. "Processing records number # ...", "Order Number: " + OrderNo. So, that the user knows that something is going one.
The BIZ method code has to update the form controls (the progress above). Here is the segment of the current code that shows the progress:

	thisform.wo_count.value = alltrim(str(nCountOrders))
	thisform.wo_number.value = alltrim(str( CUR_PM_WOS.WO_NUMBER )	)		
	thisform.equipment_id.Value = CUR_PM_WOS.EQUIP_ID
	Thisform.Draw

	DOEVENTS 

How would you suggest to update the Form controls from the BIZ object code?

TIA

UPDATE. One idea I have is to pass the form reference to the BIZ method. But it seems to be a kludge.

UPDATE 2. Another question is how to deal with a user interrupting the process. The form has Cancel button which set the form property lExit to .T. And the Process code checks for this value. Of course, when the Process code runs in a Biz method, the form property is out of scope. Unless, again, I pass the form reference to the BIZ method. But I am thinking/looking for a better solution/approach
