Thanks for that tip. I played a bit with that and I now have a basic form running in the Application window. Since I have started refactoring my code to start using CALL FORM and CALL WORKER. This gives a very interesting option.
I will continue to play with this to see if I can get some more fun with this. I do have another question about Server to Client communication using the CALL WORKER and CALL FROM methods. Should I start another thread or are there more notes about this idea. I have a basic setup running client side and I have done a bit of looking at processes but have not pieced it together. If somebody has already done this then it would help clarify options. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- MacCafe 7860 Central Ave. Toledo, OH 43617 Eric Naujock - ACSA 10.2, 10.3, 10.4 Apple - ACTC 10.5, 10.6, 10.7, 10.8, 10.9, 10.10 ACSP 10.11, 10.12 http://www.mac-cafe.com email: e <mailto:[email protected]>[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> AOL IM: erlic > On Dec 18, 2017, at 9:55 PM, Keisuke Miyako via 4D_Tech > <[email protected]> wrote: > > 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.
