I maybe already asked this question, but anyway I am still a bit confused: I wanted to use DIALOG with * as an additional parameter, but have problem to make it work. I have app that display several info windows - like palettes, progress messages, communication statuses etc.Currently, I often need 2 processes for each task: one does the work as background task, another display it status / progress. So instead of running a separate process for each window, why not to use one process that will display whatever windows application wants to display? Or display status from inside background process that do communication or lengthy task.
My original idea was to call OPEN FORM WINDOW DIALOG(;*) PAUSE PROCESS but that does not work, as the process execution is "standing" at PAUSE PROCESS and no code is executed (and CALL FORM is either not executed or window is not redrawn.) When I remove PAUSE PROCESS, process ends and DIALOG window is closed. According to documentation, it would work of I do OPEN FORM WINDOW DIALOG(;*) DIALOG() but that is quite ugly, and would cause some problems, as I want the process that calls DIALOG(;*) periodically evaluate which windows are open and close itself if none. Another possibility is just to open window and call DIALOG(), then call DIALOG(;*) from inside the form method of the first DIALOG() form. That would (probably) work, form can use On timer event to check what is open, open additional dialogs etc. but I do not like the idea either. Is there a way how to use DIALOG(;*) from a process that does not have any other window open?
