I think this is achievable by running the form on a separate thread or something of that kind... if yes.. then how can I do that?
Thaks in advance
Hi Fayed,
You are correct about forms running on seperate threads. A form that's launched by calling .Show() will be on its own thread. It sounds like you might find the new BackgroundWorker component to be useful here. Make a new form, add a ProgressBar and a BackgroundWorker. In the Form Load event, you can set the progress bar's style to Marquee and call RunWorkerAsync on the BackgroundWorker. In the BackgroundWorker's DoWork event, you'll load the data from the database, and on the RunWorkerCompleted event you can hide the form. That should get you started - hope this helps!
Hi Rayan,
