I'm trying to implement soft of a "status bar" on my application. When certain actions are performed, I want to display the successful results on this status bar, rather than a pop-up message. This is an attempt to reduce the number of clicks necessary (get annoying after a while). So I thought, to accomplish this, I can add a text label a the bottom of my form, and use it as a status bar. When a task is performed succesffully, I want it to display the message for 5 seconds and then clear the status bar, so I thogh tlStatusLbl.text = "Task succeeded" wait 5 tlStatusLbl.text = "" And that works, except that while it's in that WAIT loop, the whole app lags, and the app doesn't move or refresh until the wait period is over. Does anyone know a way to send this wait to the background or another way to implement this behaviour? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
