Hello... as title says, I would like to freeze a button while it is in the active mode. This is perhaps a simple question that you think I might get from web, but I just can't relate how to do that with my real code. I knew that a button can be set on it's state to 'normal', 'active' and 'disabled', but how do I apply it within my code bellow if each button below incurred some other subroutines? I just want to freeze the button "run all" until the job of invoking the job1, job2 & job3 button is done. Also, another side question on my flash button, why is it not flashing when the "run all" button is pressed? Thanks for your help.

my $run_all_btn=$mw->Button(
    -text => 'run all',
    -width => 20,
    -height => 2,
    -activebackground => 'red',
    -background => 'green',
    -command => sub {
            $run_job1->invoke();
        $run_job2->invoke();
        $run_job3->invoke(); #I want the button freeze until run compl
+etion of all buttons job1, 2 and 3.
        })->pack();
        $run_all_btn->flash(); #seem not working
