wait while processing

[krgatez]

I've developed a Windows form application, and it takes a while to
startup. Right now there is no indication that there is any activity.
I'd like to establish some kind of hourglass, or processing box on
startup. I've tried the cursor.current = cursors.waitcursor, but
it's not being initialized until the form is able to open. Where
would I put this command? I've tried several different places. I'd
preferably like a "Processing..." box. Is this possible? So I have
two questions:
1. Where would I put the cursor.current = cursors.waitcursor command?
2. Can I have a "processing..." box. Without buttons, just close when
the form opens. Is this possible? Any sample code would be
appreciated.

KrGatez,

This is quit normal code

\\\\
Sub load event
dim frm1 as new formSplash 'disable the control.box on that
frm.show
do your things
frm1.close
end sub
///
I hope this helps,

Cor
