Hi, Bill
I have a program that does this.
I have a Static TEXT object on the MainMenu form with a ComponentID of
fPrintStatus set to 0 width and VISIBLE 'FALSE' (this was before the new
Hide on Startup option).
In the program that prints the report, I use these commands:
SET V fPrintStatus = 'Print Personnel Reports'
PROPERTY APPLICATION TITLE .fPrintStatus
PROPERTY fPrintStatus VISIBLE 'TRUE'
PROPERTY fPrintStatus CAPTION .fPrintStatus
PROPERTY fPrintStatus WIDTH 280
PRINT reportname WHERE clause ORDER BY columns +
OPTION PRINTER|SHOW_CANCEL_DIALOG OFF
As each report prints, I change the value of the variable "fPrintStatus",
change the caption on the static text box on the form and the application
title in the Windows status bar. When the last report has printed, I change
the value to be "Print Job Completed".
Works great!
Sami

Subject: [RBASE-L] - Rbase 7.6 windows - minimizing a running application
I recall a way to minimize a report that is being generated and seeing the
Rbase icon on the taskbar (although I have never done this). But I don't
recall how the process was accomplished.
Is this applicable to dropping Rbase to the taskbar while a long task is
being performed? I have a counter that shows the user that the program is
processing data, but it stays on top of other programs (Word and AS400
applications) which makes the other programs hard to utilize.
Thanks for any advice.
Bill
