I want to create a popup screen that has a label "Processing" and pushes some data out to the network and closes after that. I can create the screen, but where do I put the processing code? (Note this is not a background operation, it needs to hold up the UI while it is working)

Thanks for the help!

all networking should be done in a background operation. use a callback to inform your app that it can undisplay the popup screen.

Simon,
Can you point me at an example?
Thanks!

java callback pattern
(google)

show a progressscreen and start the network thread.
when your networking thread is done it notifies your application which can undisplay the progressscreen

Simon,
Thanks the piece I was missing is that I must close the screen using invokeLater else the popScreen throws illegal argument exception.
Thanks for the help.
