Hi,

How can I make an Ordered Message Producer in an application and process them?
For example suppose that you have a time consuming function in your application (and not respond during its calling) and wana have a timer which send and process some special messages. For example updating a progressbar or animating something....
Creating a timer in a new initialized thread seems to be one of the solution way... But it does not work correctly...You can test it by a simple example written in BCB yourself....

Regards,

you simply create or start a timer just prior the start of your lengthly code.
 in your code loop call the Application.ProcessMessages.
 in onTimer loop update a progress bar or something.
 when done. kill the timer
