[perl-win32-gui-users] How to refresh a window

[A <ex...@se...>]

Hi,
I have an application that uses Win32::GUI.
This program creates a window and writes, as it is running , some
information to this window. This  application runs for a quite long
time(about 20 minutes or longer).So far so good. A problem begins 
when a user switches from this program to another program and 
after some time
returns back to my program.The window created by my program is 
not
refreshed immediately to the state before switching but I must wait
until my program writes to that window. And because the window is 
not
refreshed quickly  it seems that the program does not run any 
longer.
What is  the best way how to refresh the window and show users 
that
the program is still running? Thank you for any good idea.

Not sure because I haven't done it, but this is what I would try: Find or 
create an event that you can put some code in.

The Window class has the Activate() event. Maybe some other control has 
something similar that you can use. Otherwise maybe the Timer control can 
help you, but that might ivolve performance issues. Time things and find out.

Hope that helps, and please share your solution with the list if you come 
up with one.
