[Fxruby-users] Progress dialog while building up mainwindow

[Christian v. M. <chr...@pd...>]

Hi!

I have an application that needs some time until the main window build
up is finished (lots of data to read, etc.)

It would be convenient to provide a small dialog that shows some
progress while doing that (something like a small window in the middle
of the screen without decorations ...).

I was playing around running a second thread in which the widgets are
build and mapped while the main app already is running. But I'm not
really satisfied with this solution (and I guess this is also rather
dangerous).

Any idea how else I could do that?

Thanks,

I guess you could have an invisible MainWindow, which doesn't contains
anything. The MainWindow are able to spawn dialogs.

So what now is your mainwindow would then become a dialog.

This way you would be able to show a progressbar dialog while waiting
for the build to complete.

Perhaps a spash screen? I wouldn't know how to approach this in FXRuby though
