Hi,

I have the following issue and I was wondering if there is a better solution for it.

On my window I have a button, after pressing the button the main program starts rs-232 communication. The window is a listerner for a status object that is filled by the class that handles the rs-232. The window does not update until the communication is done. the events are generated, I check. what I think is the problem pressing the button is blocking for the window to update. (cause the events are there).

My solution: when pressing the button, start a timer(100 mS) and then perform the task. this works fine, but I was wondering if there is a better solution?

in VB a simple DoEvent would do the trick

thx for the reaction,

Jewe
