Hi all,

Forgive me if I am not posting in the appropriate newsgroup but this one
seemed like the only one that fit my application.

I have an application which monitors proprietary devices. This app has a
GUI which allows the user to configure how the monitoring is setup (i.e. at
what intervals the app will poll the devices for info, what email address to
send polled info to, etc). The app also has a login window that appears when
the app is launched and it will wait at the login window, doing nothing,
until the user logs in correctly.

I need to change this to have the app perform its device monitoring while
sitting at this login window. Seeing as a lot of the class objects get
instantiated during and after the GUI objects get loaded, it would be nice to
not have to move these instantiations.

It would be nice if I could somehow load the app, GUI and all, but keep the
GUI not visible except for the login window. Once the user logs in, the rest
of the GUI would become visible. This way the app will monitor the devices
but the user will not have any configuration access until he/she logs in.

Does anybody know if this can be done? Any other thoughts and ideas would
be appreciated also. Thanks in advance.
