progress bar during the start of an application

Is there a possibility to show a progress bar during the start of an application.
If not do you think it could be done with a starter.exe with a timer which is in the foreground and kills itself after a certain time.
Thanks in advance,
Otto

Try TestProg.prg in \FWPPC\Samples.

Hello Manuel,
thank you for your answer. You are right.
But I don’t find a way to integrate the DIALOG.
If I use the NOWAIT clause the Dialog is not correctly painted.
Do you suggest to integrate a button into the dialog “Start program” or enter password and then jump into a function
which loads all the necessary values?
Code: Select all
function Main()
local oDlgSome
*----------------------------------------------------------
if IsExeRunning( cFileName( HB_ArgV( 0 ) ) )
MsgInfo1( "The application is already running" )
return nil
endif
DEFINE DIALOG oDlgSome TITLE "Programmstart: WHBiene" ;
SIZE 200, 200
ACTIVATE DIALOG oDlgSome CENTERED //NOWAIT
….
Best regards,
Otto
