I’m experimenting with using an R:Base application to serve SOLELY as a “background” screen. I want this screen to be in the background at all times behind the main menu, so that if I exit the main menu, the background screen is there.
I thought I could do this by creating an application, and creating a “START ACTION” (Application Designer screen, Properties Tab, “On Start Action”) which would in turn call the program bringing up the main menu. However, I’ ve learned that this action runs BEFORE the application screen comes up so the background never appears. Has anyone found a way to do this? This sequence I want would be: 1. Application screen comes up 2. With NO action by the user needed, the program code needed to connect a database and bring up the main menu would run 3. If the code calls for temporary closing of the main menu, it closes, but the application screen remains on the screen behind any pause commands, dialog commands, etc. that are called by the code. 4. If the user selects EXIT from the main menu, it closes the main menu form AND the application Anyone got an idea? David Blocker [EMAIL PROTECTED] 781-784-1919 Fax: 781-784-1860 Cell: 339-206-0261
