IDL windows freeze (on windows) [message #54312]

Hi all,

Mark Hadfield has several old posts in this newsgroup about a
procedure called YIELD that would allow the IDLDE to update its
windows (this is specific to IDL run on Windows OS). I can't find his
YIELD procedure any more.. The problem I'm encountering is that when
running a long, intensive task (a calculation of several hours, for
example) if any of the IDL windows are moved or minimized they will no
longer update, until the calculation is finished. This can be very
annoying if you want to follow the progress of your calculation, for
example. Even David Fanning's progressbar widget freezes up when
minimized.

I'm currently running with backing store set to RETAIN=1. Does anyone
know of a solution to this problem?

thanks,
Mark
