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

Return a status from the method in the dll that informs the VB application that it needs to refresh itself. --- 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; }
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.

...Steve1. quod erat demonstrandum 2. "Give a man a fish and you've fed him for a day. Teach him how to fish and you've fed him for life." I read that somewhere once :-)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; }
ok..i ll try returning from the dll.. Thank u:) Do not wait to strike till the iron is hot; but make it hot by striking.
