Using DCPUSHBUTTONXP for a startup screen animation

[GeneB]

The attached program uses DCPUSHBUTTONXP twice for a startup screen animation effect.
The problem is when each button exits DCREAD there is a "flash".
Is there a way to eliminate the flash?
Thanks,
GeneB

Proc AppSys() ; return

This works for me.

Code: Select all

 .. EVAL {|o| DC_ZoomTransparent(o), o:lockUpdate(.t.) }
