Help needed -progress

[Junner2003]

I have 2 problems with the code below!

1.
I would like that the app copies immediatly after opening without the COPY button. When I try to remove it and add the code for the copy process under a CASE @IDINITDIALOG then the WINDOW appears after the copy process.
How can I avoid that? It does not make sense to show the progress afterwards.
(I used a different location for copying to make sure that the copy process is not too short until the WINDOW got time to load.)

2.
I would like to change the RICHTEXT STATUS to a ProgressBar but what ever I tried it just did not work.
Any suggestions?

Stick a

WAIT 1

statement in your DO loop of the CopyDir subroutine.   @IDINITDIALOG is called after the controls are created but before the dialog is shown.  So you're dropping ton the CopyDir subrountine before Windows has a chance to finish showing the dialog.
