I have come across a unique problem I do not quite understand. The point at which the main form shows on the screen does not seem to be the same between a project built under GTK1 in Linux, and the same exact code built and compiled for windows.

In GTK1 as well and my Delphi6 (where the project originally started), the main from is displayed at the beginning of the FormActivate Event. When compiled for windows, the main form does not appear to be showing until the completion of the FormShow event.

This has become a nightmare as I am processing a number of routines in the FormActivate event and displaying status messages in the status bar of the main form. This could take a few minutes to complete, and as such, with windows it appears the program has stalled.

Is this the normal behavior for Windows and if so, any idea how to get around it?

Thanks
