Hi,
I have a little programm that basically wraps a gui around the Unix find command. Now, I want to show a progress indicator while find is running, but it happens that the progress indicator does not show up after I have set ip up to do so. Instead each change gets activated when I do something else, like display dialog. Then suddenly ther progress indicator will appear.
if theObject is equal to button "findFiles" of window "mainWindow" then
tell window "mainWindow"
set indeterminate of progress indicator "findProgressBar" to true
set visible of progress indicator "findProgressBar" to true
tell progress indicator "findProgressBar" to start
end tell
findFiles()
end if
This is the piece of code that turns on the progress indicator. Down in the procedure findFiles() there is a display dialog command that gets executed after the find command has returned and it is then when ther progrss indicator will suddenly appear. If I leaqve out the display dialog command the progress indicator does not get activated at all.
What wrong with my little app?
Thanks,
Stephan
