Windows Display Problems

[xavier.bury at clearstream.com]

Hi Dave - nice to scan u2!

Funny, i had the same setup in my old server operations control panel 
stack with nearly the same number and functions of calls...

[long term memory restore....]

I had problems with that setup besides the missed screen updates i recall, 
i scratched the update dialog also because it couldn't catch an event when 
i press the cancel button while
something else was running in the back (unless i did lots more additions 
to my already big loop)!. 

I put the progress back in a group that was just a group simulating a 
dialog over the main interface window - and it worked out much better 
though it didn't look as professional... Some limitations sometimes 
requires these silly workarounds. :))

cheers
