I do something similar in my apps, but I use a StackPane to layer an ActivityIndicator over my actual content. I usually put the activity indicator in a box pane so I can center it.
When my app starts up, I show the activity indicator box pane and make the activity indicator active. When my background tasks are done, I deactivate the activity indicator and hide the box pane. This has a similar effect to showing a modal dialog since it also prevents the user from interacting with the app. On Friday, March 19, 2010, at 05:35AM, "Christopher Brind" <[email protected]> wrote: >
