Clearly we're both going mad, Fred, because lifting your code directly to the
R:> works fine for me but put into a file the gauge does nothing... until the
file ends when it starts to move again!
This is the code that I used (just after 6pm!):
cls
PAUSE 3 USING 'Calculating ... Please Stand By' +
CAPTION 'Pause 3 with Gauge' ICON WINDOWS +
OPTION GAUGE_VISIBLE ON |GAUGE_COLOR RED +
|GAUGE_INTERVAL 10 |MESSAGE_FONT_NAME VERDANA |MESSAGE_FONT_SIZE 10+
|MESSAGE_FONT_COLOR WHITE |THEMENAME STEEL BLUE
while #time < 18:02:00 then
beep
endwhile
return
However this worked:
cls
while #time < 18:07:00 then
PAUSE 3 USING 'Calculating ... Please Stand By' +
CAPTION 'Pause 3 with Gauge' ICON WINDOWS +
OPTION GAUGE_VISIBLE ON |GAUGE_COLOR RED +
|GAUGE_INTERVAL 10 |MESSAGE_FONT_NAME VERDANA |MESSAGE_FONT_SIZE 10+
|MESSAGE_FONT_COLOR WHITE |THEMENAME STEEL BLUE
beep
endwhile
pause 4 using ' ' option gauge_visible off
cls
return
but it didn't clear the display without the CLS.
What really surprised me was that the the gauge didn't keep going back to its
start position in the loop as the command was being called after every beep.
Regards,
Alastair.

Alistair here is the code lifted from RBase Help. It runs and moves fine by
itself, but won't budge when I place it at the head of my file. It appears but
doesn't move, then disappears when the file hits the CLS near the end.
GAUGE_VISIBLE OFF simply makes the "gauge" disappear. I don't know why it
won't move. --Fred

Fred,
PAUSE 4 USING ' ' OPTION METER_VISIBLE OFF
PAUSE 4 USING ' ' OPTION GAUGE_VISIBLE OFF
Should do it for you.

Alastair.

I can get my PAUSE 3 GAUGEs and METERs to display on screen but I can't
get them to MOVE. What am I not doing?
Also can't get rid of them without a well-placed CLS in the file right
before completion. Is that kosher?
They're much cooler than a static "One moment please..." so I'd like to
figure this out.
Thanks,
Fred
