Nothing to do with Codejock per se; any long-running code should either be relegated to another thread or regularly handle messages during its execution. Otherwise the application becomes unresponsive.

I would also recommend calling UpdateWindow() rather than sending WM_PAINT directly; UpdateWindow() will generate the correct parameters for the paint message.

Even then, on Vista Aero you may not see every message because of the DWM.

Now that the flag is missing, users are not seeing all of our message strings. I don't know if that is due to the flag or some other issue in the new version. Now we have to call SetPaneText and then call SendMessage( WM_PAINT ) to force the pane to display the text. The problem is that as we are sometimes doing extensive processing and while doing so we send a number of messages we want the user to see immediately. It looks like WM_PAINT messages appear to be going onto the message queue and by the time our processing is done and the system starts processing messages on the queue, we have set the text a number of times and the user only sees the last text we set when OnPaint is finally called.

So it appears that not only do we have to re-edit existing code (you could have just left the parameter there if you believed the semantics of the function did not change and there would have been no compile issues), but once again when we moved to a newer version of CJ, we have found yet another issue with code that used to work and have had to come up with another work-around to restore the previous behavior.

Hi,
 
Please just remove this last parameter  - statusbar now handle it automatically.

I'm moving from Codejock 11 to 12 and found that CXTPStatusBar has removed the bUpdate argument from SetPaneText.  It is still mentioned in the comment above the function declaration, and the help file SymbolReference.chm doesn't show it in the prototype but does still document it.  I don't see any documentation for the change in the release_notes.htm or migrating_guide.htm, or here on the forums.

What happened to the arg?  Do I need to handle the invalidate myself?  Does it always update now?  I see that the code has changed a good bit, but I'm not sure how I should react (if at all).
