wxbusyinfo

this class makes it easy to tell your user that the program is temporarily busy. just create a wxbusyinfo object on the stack, and within the current scope, a message window will be shown.

for example:

    wxbusyinfo wait("please wait, working...");

    for (int i = 0; i < 100000; i++)
    {
        doacalculation();
    }

it works by creating a window in the constructor, and deleting it in the destructor.

you may also want to call wxtheapp->yield() to refresh the window periodically (in case it had been obscured by other windows, for example) like this:

    wxwindowdisabler disableall;

    wxbusyinfo wait("please wait, working...");

    for (int i = 0; i < 100000; i++)
    {
        doacalculation();

        if ( !(i % 1000) )
            wxtheapp->yield();
    }

but take care to not cause undesirable reentrancies when doing it (see wxapp::yield() for more details). the simplest way to do it is to use wxwindowdisabler class as illustrated in the above example.

wxbusyinfo::wxbusyinfo

wxbusyinfo(const wxstring& msg, wxwindow* parent = null)

constructs a busy info window as child of parent and displays msg in it.

nb: if parent is not null you must ensure that it is not closed while the busy info is shown.

wxbusyinfo::~wxbusyinfo

~wxbusyinfo()

hides and closes the window containing the information text.
