It could be a list or anything else - I don't actually know from<br>
your code what onScan is supposed to do! :-)</blockquote></div><div><div><br>> Well, My code is supposed to do a lot. My actual onScan looks like this:<br><br></div> def OnScan(self, event):<div>
<br> startScan = '''TSO will now start creating a log.<br>Please be patient as this can take from 5 up to 10 minutes.<br>Please press OK to start TSO.'''<br> dlg2 = wx.MessageDialog(self, startScan, 'Starting TSO.', wx.OK|wx.ICON_INFORMATION)<br>
dlg2.ShowModal()<br> dlg2.Destroy()<br><br></div> scan()<div><br> <br> dlg = wx.MessageDialog(self, 'The log is done.\n Press OK to return to TSO.', <br> 'Done Creating Log.', wx.OK|wx.ICON_INFORMATION)<br>
dlg.ShowModal()<br> dlg.Destroy()<br><br>> the part that calls for the features in TSO (scan()) is simply defined later in the program <br>> (out of the class I might add). Is this a
problem for the gauge bar?<br><br></div>Possibly. For the guage to display progress it needs a way to get the intermediate <br>progress. If the scan() function updates some global variable or has a hook function <br>to call for periodic update then all is well. But if it is a single monolithic bit of code <br>
there is very little you can do. </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br>Not sure what you mean. My code calls different built in functions from windows. (Like Ipconfig, ping etc.)<br>The only thing I do is call them from python, make sure that the format is right and write it to a file. (called temp.txt)<br>
Once temp.txt is complete it goes through a script which makes the text 'cross platform' so it shows 'nice' on forums.<br><br>I'll make a little attempt to this. Not sure how it will go.<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_quote"><div><br><br>Given the scan() function is external to the GUI - as it should be - then I'd probably <br>opt for running scan() inside a thread and using a non-modal dialog to indicate that <br>
the scan is running - maybe with a simple timer display to show that its still running. <br>Then at the end of the scam either just delete the dialog or bring it to the top to make <br>the user delete it - thus seeing that the scan is complete. By making it non-modal <br>
the user can carry on using the GUI while scanning.<div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br>Yes the scan() functions are external to the GUI. I simply made the code first and the GUI later.<br>
