Configuration: - 3/160
- SunOS 3.5
- 1 slightly tired and frustrated novice SunView programmer
Scenario: I am working on a process that searchs data. Since the search
can take from several seconds to a few minutes I would like to pop-up a
window with a little message in it saying what is going on. I have a
panel button call the function that starts the search and it is within
this function that I want to bring up the pop-up, finish the search, and
remove the pop-up. When I do this I see in my debugs that the funtion to
create the pop-up is called properly and everything is set as it should
be. Then I see the search complete and the function to close the pop-up
window is called properly; however, the pop-up is never displayed. I know
there must be a way to refresh the screen but I have not found it yet. I
have tried using wmgr_refreshwindow() without success.
Since I imagine this has occured in the past I thought I would appeal to
the net for help. Please realize that I have read TFM till I am blue in
the face and have not found a solution to this simple problem (something
about not seeing the forest due to the trees comes to mind).
Any pointers to manual pages I may have missed, code fragments, or any
help in general regarding this problem would be greatly appreciated.

You need to return to the notifier to make the window appear. Calling notify_dispatch after putting up the popup should do the trick.
