{{blk2blue.jpg|blk2blue.jpg}}

The **DeferWindow **property controls whether the ReportManager opens the progress window with the Open method or delays opening the progress window until the first timer cycle. A value of one (1 or True) delays the open until the first timer cycle; a value of zero (0 or False) opens the window immediately.

The DeferWindow property gives you an opportunity to leave the progress window closed until there are actual records to process.

**Implementation:**

The TakeWindowEvent method implements the behavior specified by the DeferWindow property.
