read the little note at the bottom, though:

Return a status from the method in the dll that informs the VB application that it needs to refresh itself. --- b { font-weight: normal; }

[Guffa]

That's only half a solution. The other half would be what to use instead. :) --- b { font-weight: normal; }

Thanks...atleast i got a single response.. I tried to return and refresh from the vb application but it doesnt work either..:-> Do not wait to strike till the iron is hot; but make it hot by striking.

There are millions of ways that something can not work. In exactly what way doesn't it work? --- b { font-weight: normal; }

That goes for coming to the wrong place also. ;) --- b { font-weight: normal; }

Nothing different i tried to move between other open windows during the wait -say 10secs in vb code .The application doesnt get refreshed or repainted ...it is displayed white window.. Do not wait to strike till the iron is hot; but make it hot by striking.

No? Say that you were trying to get to work, and accidently ended up in Toulouse instead. Don't you think that you would learn a lot? --- b { font-weight: normal; }

I m having a VB application which is using a .Net(C#) dll.In that dll, i have written code to make the application wait for a particular interval(alteast 2min).During that wait period if i try to move focus between other open windows and return focus back to vb application,it opens as blank white window.After that interval it gets repainted.How to make application open normally during the wait period??? code snippet i used for wait is as below: private void wait(interval) { DateTime dteEndDate; dteEndDate = DateTime.Now.AddMilliseconds(interval); while ((DateTime.Now < dteEndDate)) { System.Windows.Forms.Application.DoEvents(); } } I even tried using Thread.Sleep(interval) and got the same blank application window. Thanks Do not wait to strike till the iron is hot; but make it hot by striking.

As long as you don't return from the dll, the VB application can't handle the events that tell it to redraw itself. It's just waiting for the call to return. --- b { font-weight: normal; }
