OnInitDialog/WM_INITDIALOG

no it doesn't work; BOOL CImportProcessDlg::OnInitDialog() { CDialog::OnInitDialog(); for (long i = 1; i < 100000; i++) { m_Tekst.Format("%d", i); UpdateData(FALSE); } return TRUE; // return TRUE unless you set the focus to a control // EXCEPTION: OCX Property Pages should return FALSE } if i run this the dialog just waits till i = 1000000 and then it pop's up... :S

Try this:

1. Add a hidden button to your dialog, with id ID_RUN_LOOP.
2. Write a handler for the ID_RUN_LOOP command. The handler should execute the for loop.
3. In your dialog's OnInitDialog() handler, do this: PostMessage (WM_COMMAND, ID_RUN_LOOP);

This should cause the loop to be executed after your dialog has been initialized and shown on the screen. /ravi Let's put "civil" back in "civilization" Home | Articles | Freeware | Music ravib@ravib.com

Another way is to use Timers. 1. Create a timer in OnInitDialog() 2. In the timer function do the for loop and then destroy the timer.
