Jeremy,
Progress Component
it would look something like this:
Open progress window("Contacting Server...")
contact_server-Method
Update Progress window("Signing in...")
signin_method
Update Progress window("Getting obligations...")
get_obligation_method
Update Progress window("Submitting Data...")
submit_Data_method
of course you can issue the start & updates from within the appropriate
methods.
The above is just an outline.
Progress can show either :
a fill line (x% complete)
or
a barber pole (computer is working, duration unknown)
both are platform specific and so look appropriate for either a Mac or
a PC
