Here's a very simple solution that I have used (I use CodeWarrior v7.x
thus far):
In my resource header:
#define PleaseWaitLabel 5011 //(Left Origin = 36, Top Origin =
54, Usable = 0, Font = Standard)
The PleaseWaitLabel has the following text:
"Please Wait....
... I'm digesting this data...."
(NOTE that the label is !usable and the chart is usable, initally, not
that it matters much, since I toggle the usability of these objects -
see below:)
In my code I do the following:
FrmHideObject( frmP, FrmGetObjectIndex( frmP, LongCalcTable)); //
hide the table
FrmShowObject( frmP, FrmGetObjectIndex( frmP, PleaseWaitLabel)); //
show the wait message
for( row = 0; row < rowsInTable; row++) {
ChartGetRowData( row); // V. heavy calculations
}
FrmHideObject( frmP, FrmGetObjectIndex( frmP, PleaseWaitLabel)); //
hide the wait message
FrmShowObject( frmP, FrmGetObjectIndex( frmP, LongCalcTable)); //
show the table
