What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Start wxLauncher What is the expected output? What do you see instead? Expected is for the launcher to remain responsive while it attempts to retrieve highlights. Instead, sometimes it hangs when retrieving highlights, such as if the highlights website is down. Please use labels and text to provide additional information. The solution, as Iss Mneur has mentioned, is for the launcher to retrieve the highlights in a separate thread, in which case we'll need to look into using wxThread < http://docs.wxwidgets.org/stable/wx_wxthread.html > and related classes.
