To MessageBox or not to MessageBox
I'm writing a test Script in VB and there is a process in it, about half way through, that searches a rather deep TreeView. It causes the test to pause for about 20+ seconds and, given the size of this TreeView, I can definately live with that.
My question is: Is ther a non-dialog-box way to notify the user that this pause is normal without making the pause longer? I'm using BuiltIn.ShowMessage() but this waits for a user response before it begins the 20 second pause.
Is there a way to post a message to the user just before the pause and erase just after without requiring the user to respond?
