More Events

Hi guys
I have got a simple application.
It is composed by a graphical objects that manages cartographical maps.
If I click on a toolbar button the program starts to read from a txt file.This allows to convert the content of the file into graphical operations on the map
This is the problem:
When the application runs and reads the file, I can't interact with the remaining of the application (for example I can not click another toolbar button) because the system is blocked until the reading of the file has not be finished
How can I solve this?
Thanks in advance

solutions:

1. Insert the below function in the loop where you are processing the file:

Code:

---

void DoEvents()
{
  MSG msg;
  while ( PeekMessage ( &msg, NULL, 0, 0, PM_REMOVE ) )
  {
    TranslateMessage(&msg);               
    DispatchMessage(&msg);
  }
}

---

2. Use a worker thread. This way you will not block the UI thread.

GREAT!!!

It works!!!
