Re: [Gambas-user] WAIT ... is it an (un) necessary evil for my app?
Just for giggles, I switched my app over to use gb.qt and gb.qt.ext and it seems to work a lot better... So that raises the question, Could this be yet another gb.gtk bug? -- Register Now for Creativity and Technology (CaT), June 3rd, NYC.

Re: [Gambas-user] WAIT ... is it an (un) necessary evil for my app?
Anyone else have any other suggestions? I still can't get this to work. Adding the wait on the process_kill() event also allows the progressbar to refresh, but I the results are the same...performance suffers with this lag at the end of every process. -- Register Now for Creativity and Technology (CaT), June 3rd, NYC.

Re: [Gambas-user] WAIT ... is it an (un) necessary evil for my app?
I had similar problems, but I had only minor performance penalty. So in my case WAIT was ok. So I don't think I can help but... Hard to believe that progressbar really needs 0.25s to just refresh... WAIT must be doing something else too. In documentation of refresh, there reads: If you need an immediate refresh, call WAIT after having used this method. pbprog.Refresh() WAIT Should do it, but I'm sure you already tried that. Bug..? If not, maybe there should be method RefreshNow, which waits until refresh is done and after that continues execution. Or more generally; pbprog.Refresh() WAIT like with EXEC instruction. To wishlist? Better ideas? Regards, Jussi On Wed, May 27, 2009 at 18:31, M0E Lnx m0e@gmail.com wrote: Anyone else have any other suggestions? I still can't get this to work.

Re: [Gambas-user] WAIT ... is it an (un) necessary evil for my app?
Don't wait, remove this part of the code: IF $hproc.value 0 then RETURN $hproc.Value ELSE RETURN 0 END IF Then create an event handler for the kill event which is raised once the program is finished 2009/5/26 M0E Lnx m0e@gmail.com So, the next version of my vinstall-ng app is really shaping up nicely, but I'm running into a weird dilemma here. This is a linux installer, so there is a lot of decompression going on in the background as packages are being installed using via the gambas EXEC method. Here is the problem I'm having though. I have string arrays of package names to install one at a time. I have a sub that reads these arrays and processes each package at a time I have a function that simply installs the package and checks to make sure the process didn't return an error. Allow me to demonstrate PUBLIC INSTALL_FROM_ARRAY(sList as string[]) DIM sPkg as string DIM i, iRet as Integer FOR i = 0 to sList.Max IF INSTALL_THIS_PACKAGE(trim(sList[i])) 0 then RETURN pbprog.value = i / sList.count NEXT END PUBLIC FUNCTION INSTALL_THIS_PACKAGE(sPkgPath as String) as Integer dim $hproc as Process $hproc = EXEC [/sbin/installpkg,-q,-R, ClsGlobal.sTargetPath, sPkgPath] WAIT IF $hproc.value 0 then RETURN $hproc.Value ELSE RETURN 0 END IF END My problem is that the progressbar does not update as every package installs. I need to add a wait of at least 0.25 before each package gets installed to give the progressbar time to update. The background processes do run without the wait instance, but the GUI seems stuck. On the other hand, if I want the progressbar, I have to sacrifice performance. Can anyone think of a way around this? Using gambas2.2.12 app uses gb.gtk Any help is welcome.
