How to continue executing code after calling ShowDialog()

Question

the Form.ShowDialog() method causes the code to be halted until the newly called form is closed. I need the code to continue running after the ShowDialog() method is called.

Answer 1

This is my way, so ugly but i have no better idea.

private void AppUiMain_Shown(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    var loading = new AppUiLoading();
    loading.Shown += (o, args) =>
    {
        bool isLoading = true;
        loading.Top = (int)(loading.Top * 1.16);

        Application.DoEvents();//refresh ui

        EventHandler ehr = null;
        EventHandler ehe = null;
        ehr = (ss, ee) =>
        {
            App.Instance.Ready -= ehr;
            App.Instance.Error -= ehe;
            isLoading = false;
        };
        ehe = (ss, ee) =>
        {
            loading.Text = "Error";
            loading.ShowAbortButton("Error occur");
        };
        App.Instance.Error += ehe;
        App.Instance.Ready += ehr;
        InitApp();

        //HACK: find a better way to `refresh' main form
        Application.DoEvents();
        this.Height++;
        this.Height--;

        //HACK: find a better way to keep message looping on ShowDialog
        while (isLoading)
            Application.DoEvents();

        loading.Close();
    };
    loading.ShowDialog(this);
}
