I hope that someone can help me figure out what has gone wrong with my Spinner. I made a group of controls with a spinner to launch before a series of activities that i know might take awhile, or on opening a screen. I'm using a local variable & Update Context to set the visible property of the spinner group to true or false as necessary. This was working as expected as far as i could tell; however, as i've since changed some code on the "on Change" property of some controls, i've noticed that the spinner doesn't launch anymore on those controls. I have searched all of the internet trying to find a clue as to what has happened. One post suggested that the code was running so fast that the spinner didn't have time to launch. That's not the case as i am still trying to reduce the processing time of the code. It's definitely slow right now so I should expect to see the spinner. I even experimented with a timer but that was a big fail too.
My question is - are there any functions that impede an Update Context command from being carried out? Does commenting out code impact the Update Context command? I cannot figure out why the spinner doesn't get launched any more. It works fine on simple things like Screen On Visible property and on some controls "On Select" property. But not on the "On Change" property of some controls, which also carry out a bunch of operations, so i'm wondering if there's an operation that prevents the spinner from showing up?
I've also checked to make sure that the spinner group is at the front, so i know it's not running but hidden.
Just wondering if this has happened to anyone else. Judging from my google searches, it hasn't. Which also seems odd.
