Fnd_Art

10 shared methods.

Fnd_Art_About

Fnd_Art_About

Displays the About Box dialog in a new process.

No parameters.

Fnd_Art_Cancel

Fnd_Art_Cancel

Signals the Startup dialog to close.

Sets Form.CloseRequested, then cancels only once the dialog's minimum display time has elapsed — so a startup screen cannot be dismissed before it has been on screen long enough to read. A request arriving earlier sets the flag and leaves the dialog to close itself.

No parameters.

Returns requested information. See the Fnd_Gen_ComponentInfo method for more information.
