On approximately 8/27/2004 2:36 PM, came the following characters from
the keyboard of Eric Hansen:
I have a program that has dialogbox with 2 listboxes, 4, comboboxes,
And 6 buttons. When the user hits a search button (a button used to
Do a sql lookup and bring data back) I want the dialogbox to be
Disabled so that the user can’t mouse click the widgets on the
Dialogbox. I use the disable method $D->Disable(); but that
Does not work. I have even tried disabling each individual
Widget and that does not work. What happens is that while
The program is searching the database, the user can click
Around the dialogbox and nothing appears to happen. But when the
Sql search procedure is done, the user sees the effect of their
Mouse clicks. Everything they did then becomes evident.
What gives??
Eric, Texas
Hard to say without some code to play with, but maybe you should
DoEvents before you re-enable the widgets?
