Here's what I want:
1. A user clicks on a button to see a list of all tables in an Access
file.
2. A thread starts up to obtain the list of tables.
3. A modal window pops up saying "Please wait ...", so the user knows
the application didn't just die.
4. When the thread is done, the modal window disappears, and a
listview is filled with the tables.
I have all this working fine. The problem is that on most occasions,
the access file only has a few tables, so the modal window is an
annoying little blink. Is there some way to show the window only if
the thread is taking a long time, and not show it otherwise? I've
come up with a few solutions, but none really work.
