Hello,
I am sure there is something here to help me but I'm not sure what to look for so please forgive me if it's here and I haven't found it. Please point me in the right direction.
I have a form in which the user will make some choices and then the program will have to perform an operation. This operation may take anywhere from 5 seconds to a minute. I want to display a form (that I could then use from other forms) that shows a message indicating that the operation is in progress. I can't show a percent complete but would just like to give the user an indication that the program is indeed working.
I have created a form in which I pass a string, then show the form before the operation starts. After the operation I close the window. The problem is, in my message form I set a label with the string passed but the label never gets filled in. The message form appears, the operation progress but the string I put in the label doesn't show.
Am I approching this incorrectly?
Thanks for any help.
Gerry D.
