So I have a UI that when the user selects a particular encounter, it goes out, runs eight different procedures to get data and format that data into HTML files and presents it into a separate window's WebView controls that are on eight different tabs in a tab container (get it?)...so anyway running these eight procedures does take more than a moment (but probably less than two minutes) and what I would like is to have the original calling form display the procedure that is currently being processed and update a progress bar (that I have set a maximum of 8, one for each procedure).
I have tried understanding and using threads, but because I just want to update a label with text and step the progress bar 1, it seems like that should work, but it is not. I do have the default cursor displaying as a "wait" spinner and then going back to default after completion and that is working, but I want something that is more in the users face saying "hey, I am working here. Please dont close me yet as I am busy getting data"
Thanks for the advice
