Hi Fons, Thanks for your quick response. The new method TGClient::ProcessEventsFor(TGWindow *w) works great with one exception as illustrated in the attached code. Can you tell me why "Initializing..." does not appear in the popup window? Thanks, Glen PS I compiled the code using the command: g++ -o progressmeter TProgressMeter.cxx `root-config --cflags` `root-config --glibs` on a RedHat 7.1 Linux PC.
