Hi Tim

Can you provide a brief overview of the InterfaceManager.Scheduler in terms of when and why one should use it?

Thanks
Mark

It's primarily used for creating/showing forms/dialogs, but what it does is
essentially queue up a given task (procedure reference):

  TInterfaceTask = procedure of object;

so that it executes during the next round of UI message loop processing in
the browser.  This is useful for situations where you don't want the
application execution to prevent UI updates, such as with progress
animation.  The task will just be added to the UI update list and be
executed in the order in which the tasks have been added.  You can also
specify that a task be executed *first* before any other tasks, via the
AImmediate parameter:

One warning, though:  if you *do* use the scheduling, make sure that your
scheduled task *always* calls the TaskComplete method:

when it's done or you'll run into issues.
