GUI Progress not updating... because (Not Responding)

[blakestone]

I have used the Progress in a number of MAXScript GUI windows and it updates successfully however many times when executing a script the GUI window sits there showing (Not Responding) rather than update the GUI such as the Progress or updating Label etc.

The script has not failed and just does not update the GUI due to the (Not Responding).

In the below example you can see it gets about 10% in then shows (Not Responding) and then finishes. Any ideas?

Fixed, Thanks... for those who want the code:

 fn DisableProcessWindowsGhosting = (
        if classof (dotnet.GetType "DisableWindowsGhosting") != dotNetObject do (
            local source = StringStream ("using System.Runtime.InteropServices; public class DisableWindowsGhosting{ public static extern bool DisableProcessWindowsGhosting();}")

            compilerParams = dotnetobject "System.CodeDom.Compiler.CompilerParameters"
            compilerParams.ReferencedAssemblies.Add("System.dll");
            compilerParams.GenerateInMemory = on
            csharpProvider = dotnetobject "Microsoft.CSharp.CSharpCodeProvider"
            compilerResults = csharpProvider.CompileAssemblyFromSource compilerParams #(source as String)
            flush source
            close source
            if (compilerResults.Errors.Count > 0 ) then (
                local errs = stringstream ""
                for i = 0 to (compilerResults.Errors.Count-1) do (
                    local err = compilerResults.Errors.Item
                    format "Error:% Line:% Column:% %\n" err.ErrorNumber err.Line err.Column err.ErrorText to:errs
                )
                format "%\n" errs
                undefined
            )
            else (
                compilerResults.CompiledAssembly.CreateInstance "DisableWindowsGhosting"
            )
        )
    )

 DisableProcessWindowsGhosting()

That code you must save as *.ms and place it in maxroot/scripts/startup directory
