Hi all, 
 
In our application there are many processes that take more than 5 seconds to 
 
complete (eg imports and exports). In these cases we present users with 
 
status screens like showing text what is going on or a progressbar. 
 
After 5-10 seconds these screens freeze while the program is still doing 
 
it's work and sets the properties for the status screens (or at least it 
 
tries to do that). When the process finishes the screen is at last updated 
 
to the last status text action, but doesn't close. 
 
This behaviour is reported from the beginning of this project. Also, when we 
 
ctrl-break into the code and continue processing, it does work all the way. 
 
Does anyone know of this behaviour and maybe have a solution? 
 
Thanks,
