Hello, if you hide the application splash window then you should open a dialog window by code.
if you don't open a dialog window by code, the user might get the impression that the startup procedure is taking long, just as you describe. the splash window is running in the application process, so you can simply call DIALOG (without opening a new window) in your on startup code if you want to display a different form. after that, you can use CALL FORM or CALL WORKER to update it as a status window. see also: http://kb.4d.com/assetid=75247 2017/12/19 10:56、Eric Naujock <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> のメール: Yes I read the page you mentioned before I posted, But that page assumes that we are using the menu bars in the menu items. I am using the menu commands to build and present my menu bars. There does not seem to be a command line option to accomplish that. There is no mention of this in the manual. I also read though the other page about hading the Application window. This is what I had turned off before. Except that this sometimes confuses my users as they start the program and wait for it to start since without the Application window it runs and they get the menu bar. If I could assign a image to the Application menu that this could be a neat way to create a status page by generating a SVG image and the pushing it to the Application window. ********************************************************************** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) FAQ: http://lists.4d.com/faqnug.html Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: http://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:[email protected] **********************************************************************
