Thanks.

Using CreateThread() function ?

Code: Select all

  Open_Window()

  Repeat     
    Event  = WaitWindowEvent()   
    If Event  = #PB_EventGadget     
      GadgetID  = EventGadgetID()    
      If GadgetID = #Create
        MyLongDurationFunction()
      EndIf     
    EndIf   
  Until Event  = #PB_EventCloseWindow 

Thanks.

You could also use some DoEvents() function in your MyLongDurationFunction() viewtopic.php?t=14492&highlight=doevents, as many PB functions are not thread safe...
