[Gambas-user] Showing the Form's Gui

[richard terry]

Often with forms one wants to start some processing after the form has loaded 
- in my case, as my app is quite database intensive, it could involve loading 
sometimes quite large amounts of data.

I'd ideally like to have the form load visually, and then the data loading to 
take place once the form is visible to the user, but if one includes this 
loading in the usual events of _new, show() , then the gui-dosn't appear until 
after the database loading and putting a Wait command before the processing 
starts dosn't seem to help.

Any idea's how to put this sort of activity into the background so the gui 
appears instantly to the user.


Regards
