I have a report which uses a complex view that takes a while to
process and want to use a pause 3 with a gauge to let the user
know it is processing. How can I get the pause window to close
before displaying the report?
Here's how:
While in Report Designer ....
01. Place the following block of code as "Before Generate Action"
Report Designer | Main Menu | Report | Actions | Before Generate ...
-- Before Generate Action
CLS
PAUSE 3 USING 'Preparing Report ... Do Not Interrupt This Process' +
CAPTION 'Preparing Report' ICON INFO +
OPTION MESSAGE_FONT_NAME Tahoma +
|MESSAGE_FONT_COLOR RED +
|MESSAGE_FONT_SIZE 11 +
|GAUGE_VISIBLE ON +
|GAUGE_COLOR DARK GRAY +
|GAUGE_INTERVAL 10 +
|THEMENAME Longhorn
RETURN
02. Place the following block of code as "After Generate Action"
Report Designer | Main Menu | Report | Actions | After Generate ...
-- After Generate Action
CLS
RETURN
That's all there is to it!
