Hi,
i have a Non-Modal Dialog with a UserArea which needs to be redrawn after a rather lengthy computation. After the UserArea/Dialog is initialized, resized, interacted with by the user, etc... this computation starts and takes several second. The computation runns in a seperate thread, so it doesn't block the gui.
What is the prefered way of redrawing the UserArea, to show the results of the computation, once it is done ?
Polling with the timer message? Using a background handler? Calling the redraw function from the thread before it terminates ?
best regards
Michael
