Anyway to get lots of hidden Run Programs in the progress bar?

[NewsArchive]

Hi Friedrich

I've moved a load of SQL commands from a sql script file into single Run
Program lines calling OSQL to hide username/password et al details from the
sql script file that I would have had to install, run with OSQL then delete.

However as I have each Run Program hidden and set to wait for each, I'm
getting a period of time from a few seconds upwards depending on PC
performance where the SB progress window just dissappears before it
reappears and then installs my files.

Is there anyway I can get each Run Program to be a segment in the SB
progress bar window so the user doesnt see the SB window dissappear and then
re appear or is it better to just display a message window instead?

You can always display a "Wait Dialog" or a "Progress Dialog" (e.g. see
"Progress Dialog.sb7").
