Second script to update control?

[Steveiwonder]

Hello,

Is it possible to run one script to create a GUI window and then have a second script running which is updating the GUI window and controls on it? Like a progress bar.?

The reason i ask of this if i have GUI which is displaying the progress of file copies, some large some small and it can take a while to copy all the files. If i have just one script copying the files evertime i call FileCopy the GUI hangs and shows Not Responding until that copy has finished and then the same thing will happen.

My idea behind it would be to have a second script doing the copying & updating the control on the GUI. Then the GUI would be free... if that makes sense?

No idea if its feasible or even possible.
