Hi all and sundry.

I have some processing that needs to take place in my proggy before the initial form is displayed. As time goes by (and the program is used), this processing time is going to increase.

How can I make the splash screen stay visible while the processing is going on and then go away when the initial form is ready (i.e., the processing is complete)? Is this even possible? Or do I just have to pick some time that I want the splash screen to be visible and hope that it's long enough?

Thanks for any suggestions.
