Interactive Splash

[Guest_imported]

I am currently working on a project which during startup checks many params and sets up the user environment. Instead of a splash dialog, I want to create a splash that contains a box to display certain messages such as:

ThisParameter - Passed.
ThatParameter - Failed.

My question is what to use? A list box or edit box and how do I continue adding to it making sure for asthetics that each message begins on a new line?

I thought about

lcMessage = "What Parameter Passed"
------
oSplash.Message.Value = oSplash.Message.Value + CHR(13) + lcMessage

Don't know if there might be a quicker more efficient way?

You can make your splash screen as your active top most window and then...

Option 1
========
Have your messages display in a wait window without waiting...
WAIT WINDOW "MyThisParameter = "+myParamValue+ ;
"Passed/Failed" NOWAIT
This has the advantage that there will be no over flowing of data.. and can be displayed as flashing messages.
Probably you can avoid the nowait statement if it is a failed parameter value...

Option 2
========
Locate the cursor at a convenient line with @ say
for example.. @ 5,0 SAY "" and then the messages follow as the parameters success or failure with ? command..

? "MyThisParameter = "+myParamValue+ " Passed/Failed"

Hope his helps you. ramani :-9
