How to update a view without invalidate ?

[Joseph_BERTHE]

Hi,

I'm making a welcome window which display to the user the current loading step. After loading all steps, the WD switch automatically to the application.

To do that I made two views.

1. WelcomeView

2. MyAppView

in the WelcomeView, I set up one

- ProgressIndicator bound to currentValue

- TextView bound to currentStep

- TimeTrigger : which call the loading methode from MyAppView.

in the MyAppView

- loadingMethode : which change the values (currentValue and currentStep) of my context.

My Problem:

When I start the application the loadingMethode is well executed, but during the process nothing change until the end of the loading methode execution.

I would like to find out a solution which allow me to fire the loadingMethode and let me the view available. !!!

Thanks for your help

ps : I hope it will be clear...

Hi there,

Guess you are following the steps in this weblog

/people/valery.silaev/blog/2006/10/09/loading-please-wait

It says that you fire the plug to your second view on the timeout action of the timer. Are you doing that?

Regards.

Hello,

Thanks you for the link, and I've followed all steps. But, my requires are not completelly completed, because, during the waiting time I want to inform my user, whats going on.

With the blog you gave me, I only a view which say "Hey, Wait man..." with a Flash animation. It looks grate (better than white page).

If you have any idear, I'm open

Berthe,

Sounds like you are using obsolete sample downlodable from blog post, but not blog text itself. There are detailed textual description that you can place whatever message / controls you whant.

Berthe,

The blog popst contains download link to example that in fact uses one-line message and Flash animation. For me it looks like you are using this example.

However, in text oif blog entry there is a description of using Timer to shift execution of long-running operations from application start time (wdDoInit methods of controllers involved) to action handler execution. According to this description, you can put any type/number of controlls before long-running operation is started.
