SUMMARYIn FoxPro for MS-DOS, a custom window can be used to inform the user that a query, report, or other task is being completed. MORE INFORMATIONIn the program below, the user will see a blinking window that tells the user that a report is printing: SET TALK OFF USE customer DO blinkwind SET CONSOLE OFF REPORT FORM customer TO PRINT SET CONSOLE ON RELEASE WINDOW xxx PROCEDURE blinkwind DEFINE WINDOW xxx FROM 10,26 TO 12,53 NONE FILL CHR(177) COLOR +*W/*R ACTIVATE WINDOW xxx @ 1,5 SAY ' PRINTING REPORT...'
