CAnimateCtrl

From: Joseph M. Newcomer on 4 Mar 2008 12:09 OK, you have to make sure simple things like loading the file. But if you are doing the WORK in the main GUI thread, the message pump is dead, your animation won't run, and your screen will not refresh properly. You would need to do the search in a secondary thread, and PostMessage to the main GUI thread to update the control. Otherwise, you will see what you are reporting now. joe On Mon, 3 Mar 2008 15:01:00 -0800, Sonu <sonu(a)online.nospam> wrote: >Ok, I added the _T() abound the Characters in .ReverseFind( '\\' ) ); > >But that is not the problem...

From: Sonu on 4 Mar 2008 13:44 Hmm.. Thanks Joseph... This is happeningin the OnOK() of a Dialog box. nd after the process is done it fill a list box on the same dialog with the results. It used to work in the older versions... :( I will try putting it in a separate thread! Thanks again Srishti "Joseph M.
