I guess sometimes the easy answer is the one we overlook. I don't
know why I didn't think about using some kind of wait message or

I have one last question about this. When do I destroy the pop-up?
I'd like it to stay on until all the data has been parsed,
I tend to avoid modal dialogs if at all possible. Generally it's much
better to display some sort of a non-modal status message, such as a
progress meter, and disable those functions that the user shouldn't
have access to while the data is loading.
For example, a current application I am working
this is cake in a framework like Cairngorm. Setup a command, event, etc.
one event would be 'showLoading'
which has a command that increments a variable by 1 and if this variable
0, shows the popup. Another event is called say 'hideLoading'. It
decrements this variable, if this variable is 1,

How about creating a little popup that shows 'Loading..' ?
Then let it close by the resulthandler.
