When the Send_Info command is executed when the presentation server is not running (ie. only OENGINE running) as during an InstallShield setup, you get a nice status bar.

Is there any way I can force this behaviour when the presentation server is loaded.

Hank,

I tried this some time ago and never got it to work, as I wanted to show the process of index builds in the same way as the Database Manager (I've since managed this another way, but that's another story .

The Progress Bar is contained in a Dialog Resource in a DLL and when this is called via RDKINSTP.DLL it tries to call OpenEngine via REVCAPI/REVSHELL.DLL passing it the appropriate command.

Unfortunately if you are trying to call this dialog from within OI, the Engine is already busy processing your Basic+ call to the dialog, and won't respond to outside requests, hence it can never talk to the Engine, hence it won't run.

I suppose you could write a small .EXE to do all this for you that is launched via IDLEPROC if that's what you want (what you really really want)
