How to detect a progress meter

GregC

Does anyone know how to detect if a meter is already running?

I found a situation where if a second meter is launched the first one becomes disconnected.  It can't be updated or destroyed.

To test:
axlMeterCreate( “Meter1” “info line” t ) ; now you will see a meter
axlMeterCreate( “Meter 2” Info Line” t ); now you see the second
axlMeterDestroy()  ; this will kill the second meter you will see the first
axlMeterDestroy()  ; no matter how many times you try to kill the meter the first one won’t go away.

Any help would be appreciated.

    Greg, I don't believe this is possible since axlMeterCreate doesn't return a form id. So there is no way to selectively destroy a meter. It appears that only a single meter id is supported.
