Here are the entries from Orca, The last column is the Order. As you can see, I have them in the order you suggested. Is there something else I'm missing?
MainDlg TestButton [RESULTS] [RESULTS] 1 2 MainDlg TestButton DoAction TestLongAction2 1 1 MainDlg TestButton SpawnWaitDialog ValidatingDialog RESULTS <> 2 3 As far as the async goes there are 2 synchronous methods for calling CA's Check and Ignore. And there are 2 async methods asyncWait and asyncNoWait. asyncNoWait is only allowed for an EXE action but I am allowed to use asyncWait which I have done in my tests. I also played around with the dialog properties SystemModal, Modeless and KeepModeless but none of those seemed to make it work.

Orca shows them in *an* order, but the true order in which they are executed is defined by the Order column. If they all have the same value for the Order column, then the order in which they are executed is undefined. > So I changed the order that I am performing the events in and if I > run the CA in async mode it will not run until I cancel the dialog and > cancel the install er.

If you want the action to be asynchronous, it has to be an EXE action. It will then spawn off in another process. -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" -- DirectX 9 draft available for download <http://legalizeadulthood.wordpress.com/the-direct3d-graphics-pipeline/> Legalize Adulthood! <http://legalizeadulthood.wordpress.com> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
