What do you mean by "in background"?
If you wish to perform some tasks "in background" while user sees login
window, enters his login/pass, etc - I think the only way is to create a
multithreaded application.
But if you just want to create/show window and then perform some extra
code, you can call Win32::GUI::DoEvent instead of Win32::GUI::Dialog().
It will draw the window and all stuff but won't "stop" for interaction
with user. Of course you should call Win32::GUI::Dialog() at some point
to allow user to interact with your application.

Subject: [perl-win32-gui-users] Window doesn't appear until code has
finished
I'm writing a login gui in perl and I've got a mental block:
I've created my gui:
my $main = Win32::GUI::Window->new(
-name => 'Main',
-width => 600,
-height => 400,
-text => 'GHS Login',
-sizable=> 0,
-hasminimize => 0,
-hasmaximize=> 0,
);
... widgets positioned
$main->Center();
$main->Show();
Win32::GUI::Dialog();
exit(0);
My question is, how can I get the window to be displayed and then have
perl code running in the background?
I've tried:
sub Main_Activate {
... perl code
return 0;
}
The perl code runs and then the window appears.
Thanks
Brian Rowlands
