Hi All, I have two modules that run big batch processing jobs. I use the meter control to keep the user informed on progress.
The meter works well, however I noticed that when I place the set property meter value xxx within a while loop that does a lot of thins, the meter doesn't get redrawn on the screen until the program is finished and it jumps from 1 to 100%. It works fine when I put a pause for 1 command in to slow down the while loop. So, it's definitely a matter of priorities, not a bug or syntax error. Any suggestions on what to do apart from slowing the system down while it is trying to process 10,000 records? As a second observation, when you do a syntax check using rstyle, it changes the word "value" in the set property meter control to "values" (plus an "s"), after which the meter doesn't display anything. It took me some time and going back to previous versions before I figured out what was going on. Just something to be aware of.
