Question

i have a function which costs plenty of time. this function is an sql-query called via odbc - not written in x++, since the functional range is insufficient.

while this operation is running, I want to show an animation on a form - defined in the aviFiles-macro. trying to realize, several problems occur:

the animation doesn t start prior the function has finished.
using threads won t fulfill my hopes, since the odbc-settings are made on the server and i guess, the function is called on client-side.
besides - how am i able to get the information that the treaded task has ended up?

could anyone give me a hint, how to

play an animation on a form
do something ( in background ) and go on playing the animation until the task to perform is finished
stop the animation

coding this in exactly this order shows the behaviour mentioned above.

thanks in advance for hints and help!

Answer 1

You can use standard AotFind as an example:

split the work in small pieces each
piece should be executed at timer tick

Also, you can try not to use timer, but to call infolog.yield() as often as possible.

Answer 2

this could potentially be done in a very complicated way with call backs and delegates if your odbc is in a vs project...

but isn t the real solution to try to find a faster/more effective way to query your data?
