Hi All,
In my program I have a static control that I want to update during a "for"
loop. Unless I use the Update method,
it doesn't seem to change. However, If I put a MessageBox within the loop,
It will change. I thought using
Application->ProcessMessages() might work, but it did not seem to help. With
many static controls on the form
that I want to update, I was just wondering if there was a way to update
them all without using the Update method
for each control.

Thanks in advance,
Gennaro

// SAMPLE snippet
for(xxxxxxx)
{
sprintf(tempbuf,"(Programming Slave1 DSP) ... Writing Address %X ,
packet Number %d",address,packetNum);
progressText->Text = tempbuf;
progressText->Update(); <<=========== NEED THIS
..
..
..
many other controls as above

Application->ProcessMessages(); <<<======== Thought this might help
}

You can use the Repaint method of the form to get
it to redraw/update all controls. Other than this your
stuck with updating each control seperately.
