Form problem

[FlyFish]

Hi,

I'd like to create small window, with progress bar in it and with cancel/OK
button.
Something like that:

+-----------------------------------+
| |
| |
| progress bar |
| cancel/OK button |
+-----------------------------------+

It should be developed as the winform class. I put my update loop after
InitializeComponent() statement.
After instancing the class in the main application class, I call
ShowDialog() method to show the form. Form is showed after all
calculation/updating is done.

I got this done by adding onActivation event to the form and calling
Activate() method after InitializeComponent() - it works, but I want to be
sure is that good/only way?

It seems to be the only way to do it.

Thank you for quick reply...

And how to make closing window event to terminate the update process?
Simply closing the window doesn't seem to work...

Herfried,

I know it can be perfectly done by spawning a new thread and delegats/worker
method. But I just wondered if there is a way of doing such a simple thing
without that.
