Hello,

without knowing in which context you are using the above code it is hard to say anything. There are differences in PC and Mac when it comes to redrawing dialogs, please see this thread.

So the most sophisticated solution would be to handle the download in a separate C4DThread[URL-REMOVED]. There you could use SpecialEventAdd()[URL-REMOVED] to trigger the redraw of the dialog.

Hello Sebastian,

thanks for you reply - I try that :

class RB_Client(c4d.threading.C4DThread) :
            
            def Main(self) :
                
                u = urlopen('url')
                ...
  
                    while True:
                        buffer = u.read(block_size)
                        if not buffer:
                            break
                        message2 = str(round(float(downloaded_bytes)/file_size*100-0.5))+" %"
                        UpdaterDialog.progressmessage = message2
                        c4d.SpecialEventAdd(betaupdatefunction_ID)
                    f.close()
                
                pass
                
        Cthread = RB_Client()
        Cthread.Start(mode=c4d.THREADMODE_ASYNC, priority=c4d.THREADPRIORITY_NORMAL)
        
        Cthread.Wait(False)
  
 def CoreMessage(self, id, msg) :
          if id==betaupdatefunction_ID:
              self.SetString(1005,self.progressmessage)
              self.LayoutChanged(1006)
              return True
          return gui.GeDialog.CoreMessage(self, id, msg)

the dialog refresh after the end of the function not during the while

Hello,

maybe your thread works too fast for Cinema to send the messages. You could add a sleep() call from the time lib in your while loop to give Cinema a chance to send the message.

Alternatively you can use SetTimer()[URL-REMOVED] and Timer()[URL-REMOVED] in your GeDialog so the dialog will update continuously independent from any thread message.

Best wishes,
Sebastian
