DialogEX suggestion/question

[jassing]

I wanted to have my own "Please wait" dialog pop up -- the statusdlg woud have worked, if it would have resized down to "Please wait" but ...

The problem is, of course, you cannot pop up this please wait and continue processing code.

It would be nice if there was a way to iniate a dialog that "stayed on screen" until I called for a response or closed it.

sort of

nHandle = DialogEX.Show("dlgPleaseWait")

do some processing

DialogEX.Kill( nHandle )

perhaps as a definition of the dialog itself "no user input" or "delayed user input" and then you could grab the response via dialogex.close()


------ or th question is:
Am I missing how I can accomplish this now?

WinAPI plugin will do the trick, or code a small dll to show/hide your dialog

Thanks for the winapi suggestion.
I guess I should have been more specific... "anyway to do that now with DialogEx"

it just seemed (to me) to be an obvious extension of the DialogEx ....

thanks again for the winapi suggestion...

Nicely done!
Now, can you get it to load an image too?

I'm at a point where your solution is "good enough" to get the project out the door. but the client is using a funky font that they want everything in. rather than try to use fonts, I figure a box that just shows an image would be, albeit restricted, another "good enough" solution.

Thank you for that.. very nice & simple -- definately something to store for future.

load a image, not a problem

you just want a image container right, no text ?

[jassing]

that'd be awesome... yes, just a image container, heck, no borders/titlebar etc... yes; THANK YOU!

I can paypal you over a few for a pint for two if you like.
