Hello Gilbert, This is most likely to be ones of this lists common discussion items... Pro has attention deficit disorder. Any operation which brings up a progress bar, when Pro does not have windows focus, will cause the app to pause and "flash" for attention on the Start toolbar. The solution for any MapBasic program which may need to run in the background is to switch off the progress bars:
set progressbars off Regards, Warren Vick Europa Technologies Ltd. http://www.europa-tech.com -----Original Message----- From: Gilbert Haché [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 15 November 2004 20:01 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: MI-L Mapbasic application stop if working in background I have a Mapbasic application that freezes when the process is working on a map and whenever I activate or use any other application (non Mapinfo) in windows, the program stop! The program make a treatment of selecting points from a big file. I then create a polygon on cosmetic. I make a process of points found in polygon and return a status in which Census division (other layer) they fall in (I found the most significants). I then make a list of those Census division an place the list in a list and this list may be saved in a temp file if too big. I have many other process using like creating Convex hull and so. When all treatment done for that location, I create other location, new polygons on cosmetic and so. It's a huge and long process. I need to have this program to run while I'm working on something else in my computer. This is why I use other windows application like word, excel, whatever at the same time. Everything works fine until it begins working in background. Any idears?
