ScreenMask

[dkeene]

Hello

I am creating forms at runtime from a main form. Some of the forms may take a while to show, and I am trying to make a screenmask to show on the launching form that shows when user clicks the button to launch the form and stop showing when the form is shown.

uniSpeedButton is clicked:

                     try
                        MyfmTableEdit:=TfmTableEdit.Create(uniApplication);
                        //this takes a while
                        
                        //SHOW SCREEN MASK with message like 'please wait while processing...';
                        
                        MyfmTableEdit.ShowModal;  //AND HIDE SCREEN MASK
                     finally

                     end;

I checked the demos and didn't understand how to apply here... Any thoughts??

Thanks

What about:

Button->ScreenMask

In design time
