| ShowImportWizard not showing progress I've written an add-in that imports quite large datasets from text files using the Datasets.ShowImportWizard. However, it's not displaying the progress dialog that you get when using it through the interface. My code is simply: Does anyone know why this is, and how I can fix it? Many thanks Mike         |

| Re: ShowImportWizard not showing progress
Managed to solve this, after a fashion. Since the import progress dialog is not displayed, I thought that I might display an animated form to show that something was happening, and then run the import on a thread. This failed. However, a quick look at Multi-threading in an add-in? let me know that all calls to Mappoint must be on the originating thread. So, I ended up with the following. Code: Public Class DoProgress
Private fb As frmBusy
Public Sub DisplayImportForm()
If fb Is Nothing Then fb = New frmBusy
fb.ShowDialog()
fb.Dispose()
End Sub
End Class
Then, when loading the data, the code is simply: Code: Dim cProgress As New DoProgress Dim tProgress As New System.Threading.Thread(AddressOf cProgress.DisplayImportForm) tProgress.Start() dsNew = TheMap.DataSets.ImportData(strFilename, , MapPoint.GeoCountry.geoCountryUnitedKingdom, MapPoint.GeoDelimiter.geoDelimiterComma, 0) tProgress.Abort() |
