Since the event handler you specify for a dialog when using FrmDoDialog gets
first crack at all events, you really can do pretty much anything you want
in the way of event handling. I'd say go ahead and use FrmDoDialog for your
preferences.
For the actions that require a long time, communicating with other devices
somehow, I'd consider using the progress manager to present a dialog that
indicates what is going on, animating to give a sense of progress, and
providing a cancel button if possible. FYI: When you beam using the exchange
manager, the dialog presented on both sending and receiving device is done
using the progress manager.
