[RBASE-L] - Re: ELIMINATING GAUGE OR METER FROM PAUSE MDBB

[Manuel]

If you do the following you can see the problem:

1.  Execute Example 02 
2.  R> PAUSE FOR 5 USING 'HELLO WORLD'

It displays the plain HELLO WORLD PAUSE with the GAUGE properties!
It retains the setting for the GAUGE or METER for any other PAUSE command
executed.  

Thanks to Alastair, I remember the workaround I used to eliminate this
anomaly.  You can execute either:

PAUSE FOR 1 USING '.' OPTION GAUGE_VISIBLE OFF

                   OR

PAUSE FOR 3 USING '.' OPTION GAUGE_VISIBLE OFF
CLS

Thank you Razzak and Alastairs for your help,
ManuEl

Manual,

Here are a few examples that should help you understand the
options of PAUSE 3 command with and without the GAUGE.

-- Example 01 (Simple PAUSE 3 Command)
    CLS
    PAUSE 3 USING 'Calculating ... Please Stand By ...' +
    CAPTION 'Simple PAUSE 3 Command' ICON APP +
    OPTION MESSAGE_FONT_NAME VERDANA +
    |MESSAGE_FONT_SIZE 10 +
    |MESSAGE_FONT_COLOR RED +
    |THEMENAME R:BASE Rocks!
    RETURN

-- Example 02 (Simple PAUSE 3 Command with GAUGE)
    CLS
    PAUSE 3 USING 'Calculating ... Please Stand By ...' +
    CAPTION 'Pause 3 with Gauge ' ICON APP +
    OPTION GAUGE_VISIBLE ON +
    |GAUGE_COLOR 2708091 +
    |GAUGE_INTERVAL 10 +
    |MESSAGE_FONT_NAME VERDANA +
    |MESSAGE_FONT_SIZE 10 +
    |MESSAGE_FONT_COLOR RED +
    |THEMENAME R:BASE Rocks!
    RETURN

Hope that helps!

Very Best R:egards,
