Maybe you should change the approach of what you are doing. Not very sure how is the code. but one solution you might have is to include the someLongProcess() inside an independent thread. In that way the main application will be freed to process all the messages received. Hope this helps

Hi Gilles, you will have to call Application.ProcessMessages from time to time within your SomeLongProcess. Then your form will be updated.
