Label Caption disappears

[N Vikram]

hi everybody,

i am using a label in a vb form, whose caption is changed at runtime to show progress. But this caption disappears at few moments and a white patch appears on the form. The caption with new value reappears after a few seconds. What might be the problem and how to rectify this? Please Help

Thanks in advance

Your problem is one of the system refreshing its windows. When ProgramA has control of the system, no other program can refresh the screen until ProgramA relinquishes control. Hence the white box for a period of time.
Try inserting a refresh immediately after updating the label like so:
[vcode]
Label1.Caption = "This is updated text"
Label1.Refresh
[/vbcode]
