Hi!

No, there is no way. You can have a progress bar with your own design and messages when you create it as a custom window. If you will create this, some tips (for SPT cursors, that also similar for views) you can find in the FAQ#8150.

For views: set Fetching option on in the view designer (from menu).
In the code, open the view. Then skip record by record in a loop to fetch each next record till the end of file. While doing that, display a progress. Note that total number of records will be not known in such case.

Note that fetching records with custom progress bar will be slightly slower than you currently have with VFP default.
