Hi,
In my forms (created with livecycle designer 8 and readed using reader 8.0) I have one button that changes the layout of the form. Each form could have x numbers of transformations.
Despite this transformations being very fast, I would like to tell the users about them while they are being applied.
So, I was wondering if there is any way to show a message to the user while the form is changing. I don´t want the user to click at any button for the message to disappeer. I would like a light, small and simple object to display that message (as sometimes we see in html applications).
I was thinking in using a message box but it has buttons, or creating a windows popup message (using a popup menu?). This last one seems more appropriate for what I want, but I would like to be given some feedback about this. And even if the popup menu is the better way to accomplish this, how can I control the display and the close of that message?
Thank you.
Something else that might work is to do a short video. I don't think that a multimedia player would cause a problem. I have a sample of a LiveCycle form playing a movie here.
