TThreadFunction n Refresh

[Shilpa13]

Hi All Experts!

I have created a new RThread in AO.

When the thread is resumed, it is executing the function wrapped in TThreadFunction.
While executing that function I want to get the update status on screen.

Simply I wanna refresh the screen n display the current status of execution.

I have used CEikLabel for displaying text in my container.

The screen is getting refreshed automatically twice i.e. when I create the thread in AO(b4 resume) n when the TThreadFunction execution completes(i.e when it comes in RunL of AO)

My screen is not getting refreshed automatically when the TThreadFunction is getting executed though I call AO refresh function from it.

But when I press any key its getting updated with the current status.

Its probably coz I am launching new thread in my app process.

I have tried all possible options like DrawNow, DrawDeferred, ActivateL ..TRawEvent

Badly stuck with this issue :-(

Pls guide.

Thanks

Hi Shilpa,

I am facing the same problem as you, in that i am unable to refresh screen from another thread.

I am calling DrawNow()/DrawDeferred() from my child thread.I am using a child thread instead of a timer, to call Draw periodically.

I came across some posts saying updating is not possible, with such an approach.Did you find any solution.If yes can you please share with me.

I will be happy to hear from you.

Regards
