I just tried this, and in theory this should work. But I think there is a problem here.
The progressbar is a 4th generation child. (Host form -> Child form -> hbox -> progressbar) The code that installs the packages is in a module that's not related to the host form. The functions that trigger these processes are called from the host forms_open() event. Using your suggestion, I can print to the console the value that the progressbar should have and it displays it correctly. But the problem is that the progressbar itself still does not update. It's like it's stuck in a split second right before the load() event is finished. I can't get any of the objects in this form to update while the shell processes are running. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Register Now for Creativity and Technology (CaT), June 3rd, NYC.
