Par2: "Loading program" window
1998-08-14 -- Rick Martin
 
Try adding these Templates to your system. Then add the StartWindow to your main application. Next, add the CloseStartWindow Code template to your MainFrame .Init method. I used priority 1. The only caveat is you'll need to have your application setup with a seperate data DLL. As far as I know, there isn't a way to insert code in front of DCTInit in the application. But, if you have a separate data DLL the ProgramSetup Embed comes before the initialization of external DLLs. Be careful of what data you display on the StartWindow. Remember you don't have any data file access yet. Images should work fine, though. #EXTENSION(StartWindow,'Initial Startup Window'),APPLICATION #AT(%GlobalData) StartWindow WINDOW,AT(,,181,77),CENTER,TIMER(100),GRAY,DOUBLE STRING('Loading Application . . .'),AT(56,33),USE(?StartString1) END #ENDAT #AT(%ProgramSetup),FIRST Open(StartWindow) Accept Case Event() Of Event:Timer Break End End #ENDAT #CODE(CloseStartWindow,'Put this code template where you want to close start Window'),REQ(StartWindow) Close(StartWindow) #!
