Right, changing the pointer won't prevent clicks on the form. &nbsp;You can disable the whole thing with Me.Enabled = False if you like, or manually disable/enabled invdividual controls as necessary.<br />

I have a program that launches a batch file that does some processing. If I open another application and or my application loses the focus and the new window opens on top of my application the main form does not refresh or redraw itself. I also get the message to &quot;switch to another program..&quot;. <br />
<br />
My batch uses the &quot;WaitForSingleObject&quot; API to wait for the batch to terminate.<br />
<br />
How can I fix this problem? <br />

How to refresh main form when batch is running

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
