refreshing frame within loop problem

wxPython Users

Hi All,

I'm using splitter window, which the left hand side holds a listctrl with list of tests to execute. the right hand side prints the test results.

i want to paint the current running test in color so i can tell which test in the list is running now (and to paint those who passed/failed).

the problem is that i'm running on the list with a loop, and i see the result of the background painting just when the loop ends. it seems as if the control of the frame returns at the end and just then i can see the result.

what is the best way to refresh the frame in between two consecutive tests in a loop ?

thanks in advance,
Roy.

Hi Roy,

Try to add wx.Yield() or wx.SafeYield() inside your loop and see if it makes any difference.

HTH.

Loops, unless provided with the proper statements, seize control of
the program's flow. If you're using Refresh() to update the widget,
you're merely asking for a painting event whenever the app's not busy.
Have you tried Update()?
