| Hi Herb,
You could, instead of going to the routine straight away, show a
Window (without any buttons) and a variable string (Local variable,
string 50 e.g.) on it. On opening the Window you set the string to
"Please Wait...", then have the routine go it's way.
Inside the routine, e.g. after each processed record, you have the
string show a different text and/or some details on the record that's
being processed.
On OpenWindow, put:
ExampleString = 'Please Wait...'
display()
Do YourRoutine
then, inside the routine, on each record that's being processed:
ExampleString = 'Please Wait... Record being processed: '&
REC:detail
display()
At the end you close the window like this:
Post(Event:CloseWindow)
In some app i made, i put in a Progress bar on a Window with a
variable string underneath showing the state of progress. But that's
just a matter of taste, i guess ;).
