I want to say that this is common to windows 7 with other applications as
well. As I write this email, my windows gadgets are on top of this form. I
have this form maximized.
In this particular form I ask the user many questions. I am going to embed
them in the form as much as possible to minimize the pause and dialog boxes.

Here's a slick method which you can adapt to achieve the desired
result, if you wish.
Three Steps:
01. Define the PAUSE 3 options as "On Before Start" EEP, such as:
-- On Before Start EEP
CLS
PAUSE 3 USING 'Preparing ListView Data ... Please Wait ...' +
CAPTION ' Customer Master List' ICON INFO +
OPTION MESSAGE_FONT_NAME Tahoma +
|MESSAGE_FONT_COLOR NAVY +
|MESSAGE_FONT_SIZE 11 +
|THEMENAME Longhorn
RETURN
02. Define the following code as "On After Start" EEP:
-- On After Start EEP
PROPERTY ListViewCompID SET_FOCUS 'TRUE'
PROPERTY ListViewCompID MAKECLICK 0
RETURN
-- Do NOT use the CLS as on After Start EEP
03. Define the following code as "On Click" EEP for ListView control:
-- ListView On Click EEP
CLS
RETURN
So, here's the sequence of events:
01. On Before Start EEP (Step 01) will be executed as soon as the EDIT USING
formname command is issued. The PAUSE message will be displayed while
the "huge" data set is being loaded in the ListView based on WHERE
clause,
etc,.
02. Once the data set is loaded successfully, the "On After Start" EEP will
be executed which will click on the first row in the list.
PAUSE Command will remain intact until the 3rd step.
03. On Click EEP for the ListView will clear the PAUSE 3 message
accordingly.
A totally automated and dynamic solution to achieve your goal.
Have fun!
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak.
