TextLabel.Text = "Copy in progress" Shell "cp -r <src> <dst>" Wait TextLabel.Text = "Completed."
I used above code in my application. Shell indicated that all files are being copied one-by-one. But TextLable did not display Copy in progress. I did lot of experiment with the above code. Finaly i got it working by adding time delay just before shell command. Now my code looks like this :- TextLabel.Text = "Copy in progress" wait 0.1 Shell "cp -r <src> <dst>" Wait TextLabel.Text = "Completed." I really have no clue why code worked after inserting time delay.

When copying is in progress TextLabel will indicate "Copy in Progress" .&nbsp; Once copying is complete then TextLable will indicate something else. For some reason wait option in shell command does nothing and I am not able to set the text&nbsp; "Copy in Progress" in TextLabel properly.

Does the shell give an error? I assume that you have something like: TextLabel.Text = "Copy in progress" Shell "cp -r <src> <dst>" Wait If I remember correctly, using this construct prevents the GUI from refreshing itself, so you won't see anything until the command completes and a new event loop is entered? I think one could help better with more information.
