Loop Wizard Question

[NewsArchive]

Hi Friedrich -

I have a custom dialog form with some buttons and plain text display
controls.

One of the buttons starts a service, which can sometimes take 30
seconds or so.

Is there a way to send a "timer event" or something to the wizard loop
so I can test for a condition and update it's status on my dialog?
Sometimes the condition only gets satisfied after a period of 30
seconds or so.

In the mean-time, I'll add a "Refresh" button. <g>

Hmm, this is a very good and interesting question <g>. I tried it and I
think it can't be done (at the moment). As it is now, only a "button" event
can execute an action in a custom dialog (e.g. to update a progress bar or
the text in a static text control). What we need is another script function
that allows to programmatically fire an event from within the Loop Wizard.
Then it should be possible to simulate a timer event and do a status update.

I'll give it some thoughts :)
