Hi all

Can I use the window handle of FASTREPORT preview in xbase dialog? to create a busy window like:

FUNCTION CreateBusyWindow(oPrg)
LOCAL GetList[0], GetOptions, oBusyDlg
@ 0,0 DCSAY 'Please wait...' SAYSIZE 0 FONT '20.Arial Bold'
@ 2,1 DCSAY 'Counting Pages:' SAYSIZE 25 FONT '13.Arial'
@ DCGUI_ROW, DCGUI_COL + 10 DCSAY '' SAYSIZE 10 FONT '16.Arial Bold' ;
COLOR GRA_CLR_BLUE OBJECT oPrg:oProgressStatic

DCGETOPTIONS NOTITLEBAR COLOR GRA_CLR_YELLOW
DCREAD GUI ;
FIT MODAL;
EXIT ;
PARENT DialogHandle("TfrxPreviewForm"); // @oBusyDlg ;
OWNER DialogHandle("TfrxPreviewForm");
OPTIONS GetOptions

RETURN nil //oBusyDlg

Thanks
Joe

hi,

do you mean FASTREPORT and FRAX

there is "FastReport" on Github
https://github.com/FastReports/FastReport

but that is for DotNet

Joe wants to know wether he can use a Windows dialog handle to place XbParts on it or use it as a parent for other stuff from Xbase++. IMHO, this is not possible. You can't use a windows handle like the one you get with the :getHWND()-method on the Xbase++ language level.

Thanks Tom

You understood my question.

hi,

you can get a Handle from DotNet DLL ...
but it does not mean that you can call any Function "in" DotNet DLL without iDispatch Interface

Maybe the other way is available, and you can place the FR-dialog(elements) on a Xbase++-dialog. I don't know Fastreport, but L&L and some other tools provide their controls and dialogs in a way you can use them on other dialogs (embed them).

Hi Tom

Does the license of L&L expire at the end of a year ?
