Windows Display Problems

[Dave]

Hi Xavier,

Long time no scan! Thanks for the help on this. The way I am using  
the Progress Bar is as follows:


The progress stack had a number of Command Handlers that get called  
by the using stack:

ProgressInitialize - Initializes the Progress Bar and set the Ending  
Limit in the Scroll Bar.
ProgressFinalize - Closes the Progress Stack.
ProgressUpdate  - Sets the Value of the Scroll Bar,
ProgressSetCaption - Sets a message to be displayed in a field.

The main stack then works like this:

go stack "Progress"  --Initially Hiddens
set the defaultStack to <the name of this stack>

send "ProgressInitialize theProgressEndValue" to stack "Progress"

then in a loop:

ProgressSetCaption("The Caption")
send "ProgressUpdate "theProgressAmount" to stack "Progress"


and finally

send "ProgressFinalize " to stack "Progress"  --Hides the Progress  
Window and closes it

That's about it really. This works fine on a mac!

All the Best
Dave
