Color Change of 'WAIT WINDOW'

TheMSsForum.com: The Microsoft Software Forum

Does somebody have an idea on how to change the default grey color of the
WAIT WINDOW
to any other color ?

I am working on VFP 8.0

Thanks, Ted

What OS, and what version of FoxPro? If this FPW, then no, you can't change
it, I don't think. In VFP, it's under your property settings for Windows,
the Appearance tab.

Hi Ted:

I don't see a way to change the color of a WAIT WINDOW. There is no clause
on change the color. I am not aware of an API that changes the color.

Can you make your own WAIT WINDOW using a form and a timer? You can then
set the background color to anything you want.


I hope this helps.
