Hi!

Try DOEVENTS command just after you changed the appearance of status object (status form). DOEVENTS cause all Windows events to be processed by VFP before any further work. These events include also painting events that usually not processed until code is finished to run. You can also use _VFP.AutoYield property. However, it might cause slow down of your program, so see what will work more quickly - DOEVENTS or _VFP.AutoYield.


I don't know however if it will work with ActiveX controls.


>Having problems when trying to display a form which displays the status of current tranasaction being executed. The problem is that the form does not display properly ....kind of a half diplayed, like the video memory is being monopolized???? I've tried all kind of controls, Active X themometers, the generic Fox thermo. They all exhibit the same behavior. Frozen until the process ends. The CPU is showing only a 40-60% usage, I have a PIII 550 with 196 megs of RAM and a 16mb Video card. Enough horsepower I'm sure. A code sample.
