Imediate Gadget Update

[SniffTheGlove]

Hi,

I have a timing issue on clicking a ButtonGadget and disabling another ButtonGadget.

For simple means, I have a window with 2 Button Gadgets ("Connect A" and "Connect B"). When I click on one of the buttons ("Connect A") I want to disable the other button ("Connect B") and then preform a Network Connection

What is happening is that when I click the "Connect A" button the command to disable the "Connect B" button is delayed until the network connection has actually finished, which can be up to 3 seconds.

In my Select statements for the "Connect A" Button I have.

Code: Select all

DisableGadget(MainWindow_Button_ConnectB,1)
ConnectionID = OpenNetworkConnection("127.0.0.1", Port)

I have tried adding
UpdateWindow_(GadgetID(MainWindow_Button_ConnectB))
before the network connection but the disabling is still delayed.

So I added a DoEvents procedure before the network connection but the disabling is still delayed.

Is there a way to disable the "Connect B" button and then run the network connection once the button has actually been disabled.

Thanks

Try

Code: Select all

flags = #PB_Window_SystemMenu| #PB_Window_ScreenCentered
OpenWindow(0,0,0,400,300,"Test",Flags)
ButtonGadget(0,10,10,60,24,"Enabled")
ButtonGadget(1,10,44,60,24,"# 2")
Repeat
           
  Select WaitWindowEvent()
      
      Case #PB_Event_CloseWindow
            Quit = 1            
   
      Case #PB_Event_Gadget
          Select EventGadget()
           Case 1
              DisableGadget(0,1)              
              SetGadgetText(0,"Disabled")
              Repeat
                x+1
                Delay(10)
              Until x >= 1000
              DisableGadget(0,0)              
              SetGadgetText(0,"Enabled") 
        
          EndSelect       

  EndSelect 

Until Quit = 1
End
