Hi
How I can update a ProgressBarGadget from inside a thread?

note: The ProgressBarGadget is generated outside the thread


Thanks

SetGadgetState() and/or SetGadgetAttribute()... Does also work in a thread here, altough the ProgressBarGadget() has been created outside that thread.

Yes but the window isn't update immediately. I need to change the gadget state and view instantaneously the result in the GUI

You can try to flush the events with "while windowevent() : wend"

Thanks Fred and AND51

But not inside the thread! The thread cannot use WindowEvent() to receive events from windows that were not created by it.

In my current project, the main program creates a window and receives the WindowEvents. The thread updates the progressbar periodically with the method I described above.

The main thread, however (and that is the trick), does not use WaitWindowEvent(), but WaitWindowEvent(200), so even if there is no incoming event, the timeout will cause the program to update the progressbar.

Understand?

Happy coding, AND51
