ProgressDialog is a non blocking dialog: Basic4android - Core

BTW, the blocking msgbox and InputBox features are unique to Basic4android (and are much more complex then it may seem).

Similar but not the same, is there any "wait" keyword, to show the spinng thingy like in WimMo?

You can use ProgressDialogShow / ProgressDialogHide. If this happens before a long loop then you should call DoEvents in this loop for the progress dialog to show and spin.

I Intended to use it in my game, when loading/creating an activity, but then how can I do that? Placing some doevents along the control creation sub, wich happens to be main?
