[br]Origin Ver. and Service Release: 2015 / 2016, whichever is better
Operating System: Windows 7

I have a few OriginC-Scripts whose execution might take some time (separating tables and creating multiple worksheets, processing and fitting data, importing data etc.).

It occurs to me, however, that Origin seems to run my code in the main UI thread, or at least blocks it until execution finishes. This leads to all kind of annoyances, some of them are:
a) the process' message queue is stopped, Origin does not respond to Windows' messages anymore and the well known "The Process has stopped responding" message appears
b) (because of a) no statusmessages can be displayed
c) (because of a) incorporating a "Press any key to stop"-system involves some fancy Keyboard-Routines and manual readout of the Keyboard-Buffer because normal keyboard-functions in Windows depend on a working Message-Loop

I can live with a), but I would like to overcome b) and c)...

Is there a possibility to allow Origin to process Messages during scrip execution? Note that simply outsourcing the work to annother thread wouldn't help, as origin still needs to wait for it to finish before it can continue, especially when creating/manipulating Origin-Objects like Worksheets or Graphs.

Thanks in advance
Alex
