Hi
The internals of the process are actually already threaded. I
hadn't thought about it but I guess I could trigger the screen to be
shown and then hidden on the threads methods. Will have a
look.Â
Thanks Joylon

What you are describing is good old fashioned
"background processing" and the simplest way to do background
processing is ... in the background! Â :)
i.e. use a *thread* to do the work.
Once you have the work being performed in a thread there
are any number of ways of skinning the cat by which your UI
can present progress/completion information and detect/be
informed when your thread has done it's work. Â Depending on
the specific circumstances in your case you might get away
with a simple OnTerminate event notification or you might need
something a little more sophisticated involving a TEvent (in
SyncObjs). Â Or some other mechanism.
But ime, trying to "simulate" threading is often more
problematic (and less robust) than just doing threading in the
first place. Â :)
imho. Â ymmv. Â :)

Hi
I have a class that I want to display a message while it
is processing.
 I want no user actions available while the processing
occurs, the
class will (always) remove the message on completion or
failure. Â I want
it to look pretty too !
I wanted to pop up a modal form without the close buttons,
however
calling showmodal will pause the process and stop my class
closing the
screen. Â In the past I have gotten around this by putting
the processing
code on the message screen itself, this isn't practical in
this case.
The class is used in a number of places throughout my
application.
What do people recommend I do / use?
Thanks
Rob
