Thanks, Ken. Unfortunately that didn't quite do the trick for me.
My situation seems a little bit different from that explained in this
link. I tried adapting it to work for me but couldn't quite get
there. No matter what I try, once the report building process starts
I can't do anything else. And this is a lot of code executing. So
going into it at this point and putting in some kind of command here
and there to update my modal dialog would be a lot of work. I think
this is a situation where threads would come in handy.
Anyway, thanks for the idea, but got any others? :-)

How is this done, or can it be done? Or maybe this isn't even the

Here's what I'm trying to do. I have a handler that generates a set
of reports for my application. That handler can take a while to
process if there is a lot of data to work with. So what I'm trying
to do is display a modal dialog that basically just says "Please
wait" while the reports are generated. The "Please wait" dialog also
has the little chasing arrows animated gif and a Cancel button to
stop the process if necessary.
Here's what's happening. The dialog displays just fine, and the
reports are generated just fine. But while the work is being done,
the dialog does not respond in any way. The chasing arrows do not
move and I can't click on the Cancel button. Is there any way around
this? The dialog is a substack of the stack that creates the
reports. In the openCard handler of the first, and only, card of the
substack, I have a send "DoReports" in time command. And that's it.
Is there any way to do what I want? Seems like I've seen it done
before, but can't quite get it working.
