I want a splash screen with a tLabel on it. This tLabel will be used to show the progress of the initialization tasks for the application, such as: "Starting up databases", "Setting up forms", etc.
I have tried the following code, in the project file:
Application.Initialize;
FormSplash := TFormSplash.Create( Application );
FormSplash.OpenSplash;
FormSplash.ShowProgress;
Application.Run;
It shows the splash-screen properly. However, the tLabel that should show each text posted to it in sequence when the splash-screen appears, shows only the last text posted. This happens even if I put a Sleep command after each text posted. I tried to post the texts on the FormCreate, FormShow and FormActivate events with the same result.
The application is for Windows 32.
Between changing the contents of your label you should allow the application to react to those changes. The simplest possibility is to use Application.ProcessMessages.
