How do I go about having a form that "runs" (does something) when Shown, with no additional user action (beyond that which caused to form to be shown)?
When I put my action code inside the OnShow event handler, the form does not actually display until the actions are complete. But I want to keep the user informed during the 60 seconds or so it takes to do the action (compress a bunch of files into a ZIP file and email it). This happens at the end of a chain of other events, and if I make the user press a "Run" button after the form is displayed, half the time the users forget to press it, and the backup files never get sent. There must be a simple answer ... Thanks, Rainer _______________________________________________ Delphi mailing list -> [email protected] http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/delphi
