I have a form that has a thermometer (from the _therm.vcx in the foxpro foundation classes) and an activeX control (Microsoft animation control to play an avi file which displays a file being dropped into a folder). All of this is happening while a file is being downloaded in the background. The trouble is that the playing of the avi file is interferring with the updating of the thermometer on the screen. The thermometer remains at zero on the screen while the iprogress and ipercentage properties are being updated programatically. (Note: This form is almost identical to the "Copy file dialog" seen in windows.) If anyone can offer assistance, I would greatly appreciate it.
