A barberpole spinner

[clasqm]

I can display the spinner now, thanks. Not getting it to spin yet, but it's late at night. Will try again tomorrow.

You say in the documentation

Code:

When your process starts, set a flag variable to and display the spinner:

display_spinner("MySpinner")
spin=true
my_cool_process()
spin=false
hide_spinner("MySpinner")
Then in the main message loop of your program add:

if spin spinall()
Now while my_cool_process() is running, the spinner will show on the bottom of MyView.

But while my program is in my_cool_process(), it is not checking the main loop. It only returns to the main loop when my_cool_process() completes. You'd have to spawn the spinner into a separate thread to do that. Hmm, now if we spun it off to a separate program ... I think I see a way. TTYL
