Hi All
I have a program which does a fair bit of processing and so I want to
display a "Please Wait..." dialog box with a progress bar and a TAnimate
component.
This is not a problem, but when I create a form and use the Show method
for displaying it it appears to be acting strangely.  Firstly, I cannot
get any labels on the form to display, and the abort button I put on
the form is just shown as a white square where the button was placed. Also
the form cannot be dragged around while it is shown.
If I use ShowModal to display the form then it acts as I would expect it
to act, but none of the code I put in the OnShow event gets executed.  
Am I doing something really daft here or is it Delphi 3 or what?  I am
new to all this and it is driving me mad, as the underlying code works
fine - its just the frilly bits I am trying to add that do not, and I
was led to believe that Delphi was good at all that stuff.  :(
Bye,
  __
