Download net file progress bar on wrong window

[NewsArchive]

Hi Friedrich

When I download a file from the web, if I have Progress Dialog: Display
before the Download from HTTP command, the progress bar that shows the
progress of the download is appearing on the Progress dialog window not the
Download from HTTP window where it would normally appear.

As the Download from HTTP window partially obscures the Progress dialog
window, is there anyway I can force the progress bar to appear on the
Download from HTTP window?

Cheers

Attached is an example script which shows what I mean.

This is the expected behavior. If the Progress dialog is active, then the
download progress event is send to the Progress dialog and not to the Wait
dialog.

What you can do is the following:

1. Use "Progress Dialog: Close" to temporarily close the Progress dialog and
the event is fired to the Wait dialog.

-or-

2. Don't use the Wait dialog at all if the Progress dialog is active and set
the status text #3 to "Downloading a required file from Microsoft -
dotnetfx35setup.exe". See attached screenshot.

What do you think?

Hi Friedrich

I'm going to do #1 as I was using it to try to force a window refresh in
relation to the Runonce problem and I'd prefer to not let the users see
files going into temp directorys which they would see if I left the Progress
Dialog display window visible as this gives them something to worry
about.<g>
