hi,
I have this problem. I want to display a progress dialog, which consists of
a progress bar, a Memo and a Label.

when I give

    progress := TProgressDlg.Create(self);
    progress.Show;
    //
    //init stuff
    //
    progress := nil;
    progress.Free;

the Caption in the label plus the text in the memo are not showing. The
progress indicator works normally, however.

If I give
    progress.ShowModal;

I see everything, but the flow of the main programme halts (of course).

What am I doing wrong?
