My app has one main window containing a PagePanel with 7 pages and
upwards of 250 controls. When I launch the app it takes some time for
RB to initialize my database and "assemble" this main window before I
show it - a few seconds anyway. I therefore put up a little splash
window first to assure the user that something IS happening, then hide
it when the main window is ready to be shown. I put a ChasingArrows
control on this splash window, but the arrows don't chase - they're
just a static display, I can't get them to rotate. I've tried
"refreshing" the splash window, and putting elements of the startup
procedure in a thread, but this just makes the main window get drawn
element by element on the screen - very ugly - even though I "hide" it
first. Any ideas?
