How do I make an asynchonous popup dialog

[Martin Francom]

What I would like to do is popup a form that has just a processbar on it but
I want the popup to be asynchonous so the the rest of the function can continue to
run.
Is there a way to do that?    Here's what am am doing:

Code Select Expand


     FF_ProgressBar_SetPosition (HWND_frmTprocess_PROGRESSBAR1, 0)  :'ReSet StatusBar to zero 
     ShowWindow HWND_frmTprocess, %SW_SHOW    ' <--- I want this to be asynchonous who do I do that ?
     ? "Here " 
     If tType = 1 Then   ' process using FTP
        If IsFalse(FtpInitialize($CSTOOLS7_LICENSE_KEY)) Then
            MsgBox "Unable to Intialize SocketTools Library"
        End If     
        fl = lPathFN
        url = "ftp://" +  rUNPW + "@" + rPath & Trim$(FF_Control_GetText (HWND_frmMain_txtFile2Get))
       result = FtpUploadFile(fl,url,15, %FTP_OPTION_PASSIVE,ftpStatus, CodePtr(GetHTTPstatus), 0)
       FtpGetErrorString(ftpGetLastError(), erSt, 128)
       ? Str$(result)
     End If

Create a modeless dialog (form). If you look in the User Reference Guide for Firefly, there's a section on displaying forms and how to show modeless forms.
