Using the Status Panel

First, you must include the status-panel class (cProcessStatusPanel) and object in your program. You should do this by adding the following line of code to the top of your program (following the use of DfAllEnt.pkg):

Use StatPnl.pkg

This creates a global object named Status_Panel. All messages must be directed to this object. There is also a global handle that contains the object ID of this status panel. This variable, ghoStatusPanel, can be used in place of the object name Status_Panel. This provides a cleaner, more robust interface.
