Refreshing/repainting the application in a big process ?

Thread view:

I've got an app that has a big processing loop inside a MouseDown event.
I'm appending text into a text object and such, but the app window isn't
being refreshed/repainted.

How should one refresh/repaint the app when in a big processing loop ?

Thanks

If I move the process outside of the MouseDown event, is there a way to
have the app check for other events, such as pressing an abort button ?

Is sShell.redraw() the correct way to update the GUI ?

Thanks.

You want to write a multithreaded application. This is a very big topic.
