That was an unclear statement (mine, I mean)! I can figure how to use the
event, what I'm unclear about is when to use the event. I've done no
multi-threading programming (so far) and I'm guessing the only way to get
the OnWork event values (to update a progress bar) whilst the put is active
is to have a separate thread. Is this correct?
If so, I'll need to swot up on how, exactly, I can do this ...
