[Solved] label not updating ...

[IPguy]

I've an odd issue which I have not seen before.
I'm attempting to write to a label, followed by executing a SNMP get.

The label is not updating.
If I add the ShowMessage, the label updates, I see the Show Message and then start the SNMPGet.  

I suspect the form does not have a chance to update itself before the pgrm gets tied up with the SNMPGet.

Any thoughts on how to force the form to update prior to starting the get?

Code: [Select]

note: TempStr & DUT.DevName are strings.
begin
  TempStr := 'Getting ... ' + DUT.DevName;
  SNMPTest.Label1.Caption := TempStr;
  ShowMessage('loc #1 ' + TempStr);

  // at this point, I see the label update, followed by the ShowMessage

 STime := Time;
  // Do the snmp get for ipRouteDest & Mask
  SNMPResult1 := SNMPGetTable(OIDRouteDest,DUT.ROsnmpStr,DUT.DevIP,Table);

 add
application.processmessages;
after label string change.
