Pause program until pop-up window is displayed?

[Matt Wilcko]

Hi,
Is there any way to pause a program until a certain process is complete? I have a pop-up window that is a seperate thread. I first call it and set the thread priority to MAX. After that, I call a time consuming process. Problem is that the contents of the pop-up window do not get displayed until the time consuming process is complete. Can I somehow make the program wait until the pop-up window is fully displayed before calling the time consuming process? I've tried setting the time consuming process to MIN priority but no luck with that either.
Thanks,
Matt

Have a look at Thread.join();
