Hard to describe... one for the experts

I have several listviews being populated off a treeview. This processing can take several seconds.

I have put a label on the form saying 'BUSY'. At the end of the function, I blank the label.

Yet... the label clears before the listviews are being populated.

There is a delay, like a re-draw or a time when what's in memory gets pushed into the listviews. And this occurs after the function has been completed.

So, how can I detect this end of processing so I can blank the busy at the right time?

Many thanks.

Hello,

Are you using

#Include <GuiListView.au3>
_GUICtrlListView_BeginUpdate($hWnd)
_GUICtrlListView_EndUpdate($hListView)

Or you just update the listView without those functions?

Good thinking. I wrapped these two around each listview yet still the problem remains.
