What is your requirement?
For this I don't want to let the user interact. I wan't the user to see
what's happening by telling him in a log window (TextCtrl). So I don't
want any user interaction to be possible. It sounds awkward and very
user unfriendly but this really is the best way to go.
I have the same issue.

I'm loading a complex screen with multiple photos and videos. I also have many complex medical diagnoses to lookup and the SQL is a bit slow. On top of all this there are the vaguaries of networks. It can take 30-40 seconds.

I use a progress bar with about 10 steps and messages which change (see attached to this email). I needed to use $app->Yield() to make it refresh properly.

But actually, I like your idea. You could make it very 'high tech' style. Some colour would be nice. I think Wx::TextCtrl supports colour. If you have any error messages, these could be in red with a larger font. Or if there is important information this could be bold.

The advantage of scrolling over flashing text messages is that you can scroll back.

Good luck,

Steve.
