display a status window

why not use a statusbar with a progress bar!!
take a look at http://testgen.tigris.org/images/screenshot_main.jpg 
on the bottom of the form, it displays "Successfully loaded function" with an icon. that easily can be changed to your specific icon (e.g. hour glass and text "please wait" or "x% complete -- that's what i use)
you can download full source from http://testgen.tigris.org/ .
though you'll first have to register in order to obtain source code: http://www.tigris.org/servlets/Join
you can download install from: http://testgen.tigris.org/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=1090

i no need progress bar but im interested in window.

man,... i don't really like the new look of experts-exchange.com
its really wired and i wonder who come-up with this look.

i liked the previous look of ee

nisarkhan,

you can --> http://oldlook.experts-exchange.com/

for your question:
sub somesub
    'Open Please wait window modally

    frmStatus.topmost = true
    frmStatus.show ()

    'process here
    '....

    'close Please wait window
    frmStatus.dispose()
end sub

OR

you can initiate your process in a thread and invoke frmStatus.showDialog(me), and close it before your thread exits.



hec",)

... or create the new "status" window as a borderless modal and center it on top of your initial form... add some cool text effects, not too cool :), the user can look at while waiting and bing! ;) Everybody loves looking at the "." ".." "..." "...." ".". Right, right?? hehe

register yourself at http://www.tigris.org/servlets/Join  ... my project is available on opensource (BSD) and you'll find all the documentations there. http://www.dotnetmagic.com/  is the source of that now, and it seems that they're charging $199 per license. my project uses the "free" version of their dll.
