Iwidgets progress bar not showing

[mucklow]

Hey guys - I have a simple program to monitor a folder's size increase, using the iwidgets::feedback. I used prowrap to make a standalone .exe so I could transfer it to a network where I dont have TCL installed (not allowed). The problem is for some reason the progress bar does not want to display on this other system. It works just fine on the box I wrote it on, using the .exe or .tcl. All my other windows dislay just fine, some are using iwidgets too (iwidgets::entryfield, iwidgets:ptionmenu). In the area where I place the feedback widget though it remains grey. Any ideas why it wont display?

I don't use prowrap so I don't know if this is what's causing your problem but with Freewrap you would need to include the widget script in the wrapping. On my installation, that's c:\tcl\lib\iwidgets4.0.2\scripts\feedback.itk

Thanks, I'll try that. Whats wierd is the feedback bar appears at the end, when it is complete, but its in the background (not the focus). It just doesn't want to display as it updates... Its not hiding in the background somewhere because I run it with no windows open.

Ah. Then perhaps you need to update at some appropriate point.

wow, that was easy

all I did was put an 'update' right before my .feedback step and it worked

thanks Bong!
