How to suppress the status window shown by DatabaseUpdater

created 15 years ago

Hi Guys
We are building an Admin tool for our application which performs such tasks as editing the config file, creating the database, updating it, deleting objects where they have been deferred, editing the model etc.
When we call methods on DatabaseUpdater a small status window is displayed (the same as if you used the DBUpdater command line tool). Is there a way to suppress this since once it has finished its work, it won't go away until we exit our application. Setting the dbUpdater variable to Nothing does not clear it and DatabaseUpdater is not disposable.
Many thanks
John

      Hello John,
      The Stop method should be called after the splash screen is shown, i.e. after calling the application's Setup method. Otherwise, it will not produce any effect.
      It appears that in your case it is better to remove SplashScreen at all. To do this, set the WinApplication.SplashScreen property to null before calling the Setup method.
      Thanks,
      Anatol

        Thanks Anatol
        All sorted!
