.NET Forum / .NET Framework / New Users / March 2006WaitForExit
Hi, I am using WaitForExit to wait for an external batch file to finish executing. Why does WaitForExit freeze my vb form ? thanks > Why does WaitForExit freeze my vb form ? Because as documented, WaitForExit "blocks the current thread of execution" and you presumably execute WaitForExit on the form's thread. If you want your form unfrozen and don't really need to wait on the batch file, then don't use WaitForExit. If frozen is ok and you need to wait, then you might change the mouse cursor to an hourglass until the batch file completes. If you really need to wait for exit and you really need your form unfrozen, then start a new thread to execute the batch file. how to change the mouse cursor to an hourglass ? > > Why does WaitForExit freeze my vb form ? > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > you really need to wait for exit and you really need your form unfrozen, then > start a new thread to execute the batch file. > how to change the mouse cursor to an hourglass ? xxx.Cursor = Cursors.WaitCursor where xxx is a form or a control. how can i Wait for the batch file to exit without hanging my windows form? > > how to change the mouse cursor to an hourglass ? > > xxx.Cursor = Cursors.WaitCursor > > where xxx is a form or a control.
