Status: Unverified
SYMPTOM(s):
PAUSE statement with PROCESS EVENTS disables the user interface
PAUSE <n> with NO-MESSAGE disables user input
FACT(s) (Environment):
Windows
Progress 7.x
Progress 8.x
Progress 9.x
OpenEdge 10.x
CAUSE:
Bug# OE00192927
CAUSE:
Using PAUSE <n> in a loop and using PROCESS EVENTS to capture events that occur during the pause or the execution of the loop causes the user interface to be disabled for user interaction. No events from the user interface are processed except for ENDKEY, END-ERROR or STOP.
FIX:
To workaround this problem use the WinAPI sleep function as follows:
RUN sleep ( 1000 ). /* time is in milliseconds- 1000 = 1 second */
PROCEDURE Sleep EXTERNAL "KERNEL32":
DEFINE INPUT PARAMETER lMilliseconds AS LONG NO-UNDO.
END PROCEDURE.
