best practice relating to using InfiniteProgress while executing socket IO from a modal Dialog

[Mark Bolduc]

If you are experiencing an issue please mention the full platform your issue applies to:
IDE: NetBeans/Eclipse/IDEA Netbeans 11
Desktop OS Windows 10 Pro
Simulator Latest

Device Simulator, Android, IOS

I created a RunInfiniteDialog thread that executes:

InfiniteProgress ip  = new InfiniteProgress();

InfiniteProcDialog = ip.showInfiniteBlocking();

Have 2 methods to call:

    public void showInfiniteDialog() {
        showInfiniteDialog = true;
    }

    public void disposeInfiniteDialog() {
        disposeInfiniteDialog = true;
    }

This works properly (In that I get the desired blurred dialog with spinning object) except when I  execute a save which in turn executes socket IO

Note: This process that executes the save is a Dialog it's self.

Wondering is there another process I can use to show progress is occurring to the user?

Note To my knowledge, ToastBar does not work within a modal Dialog.

Thoughts?

Regards.

You don't need a thread to show the dialog. Sorry I didn't understand the problem description at all.

Sorry, The Dialog seems to be blocked and does not appear in some cases where my App does some socket IO tasks that block.

I see this is too ambiguous, I will try to provide more clarity.

Regards.
