axlForm/axlMeter display during process

archive
archive over 17 years ago

Hello All.

I have a form with fixed texts and texts that are updated during the process.
During the process, only updated texts are displayed, fixed ones are only displayed at the en of the process.
Is there a way to fix this problem?

Thanks.

    Sorry Dave but surely I did not explain well, but i do not want to add fields at all.

    I define the form. It is written on the disk as a .form file, with all needed fields (even the progress bar).
    I create the form and display it.
    Then afterwards, I only update text with axlFormSetField.
    I do not want to add fields, just update those already defined..

    I display the form.
    I extract the job number.
    I update the job number field.
    then I extract components informations and update existing fields with each components property values.

    But during the process, fixed fields are not visible, all components fields are displayed and updated and when the routine finishes, the whole form is displayed. it was the same issue before I add the progress bar.

    on the attached picture:
    red ellipse: texts defined before the display
    green ellipse: texts updated during the process
    blue ellipse:text displayed at the end of the process
