yxq,

The code behind the form wich is shown as a dialog will still run.
If you place a timer then every x seconds you can do your indication of the
work.

Put your "long work" in a thread then show a progress type form as a dialog.
Check for the "work" progress in the dialog form then when it's done, return
to your main program.
