John,

When we put timers in, we generally show the result in the status bar at
the bottom of the main form window.

Subject: [dba-VB] VB.Net - seeing the messagebox

When I run my program, the form immediately pops up, I click a button
and the program starts processing files.  I added a messagebox.show to
inform me when each file finishes (I was timing with a stopwatch) but
that message box does not pop up over the top of everything else.  The
program has stopped and the message is up, but behind everything else
and I do not see it unless I click the form icon in the tool bar.  It
doesn't even cause the tool bar icon for the form to change color or
flash.

Is there a way to make it do so (somehow notify me)?
