Hi,
I would like to display a message but not wait for the user to hit ok. I
would like to display it for 1 second and then close it. The reason is I
will have a process that will do different things and I would like to
dispaly what is being done.
Yeah, a form with a Timer should do the trick. Same principle as a
splash screen. I've done something similar in my projects and created
a helper function to create and show the form, so I don't need to do
that every time. The form also has a 3D look with now title bars or
borders.
eg:
ShowNotification('your message goes here', displaytime);
displaytime is optional and defaults to 2 seconds in my case.
or even:
ShowWaitMessage(AMessage: string; ToShow: boolean);
var
sMsg: string;
begin
sMsg := 'Hold up, wait a minute, put a little pimpin in it';
ShowWaitMessage(sMsg, true);
// ... do some work
ShowWaitMessage('', false);
end;

Warm Regards,
