Title:
Creating a temporary status type window(form)
I am converting an old FPD26 application over to VFP and I need a way to display a "status" type window while I am doing something in the background. For example, I have a form and the user clicks OK and the Click event calls a .prg where I do some SQL to build a temporary cursor which will populate a grid or report, etc. What I want is a window to pop up telling the user that the "Build is in progress. Please Wait" or some such message and when the cursor is built I take the message away. In FPD26 I did this with a Define Window, Activate Window, Release Window. I want the window to be modal and I don't want and controls on the window (form) except for labels (messages). Also, I don't want to use the system "wait" command. Any ideas on how to accomplish this?
Thanks
