When we run a program, we see the logo and we can not give any message until the program will be completely loaded.

How can I prevent any mouse-clicking until a patch will be completely loaded.

Another angle is to initially load a [panel] that covers everything, colored white with some transparency, so your patch could show but not be clickable. While you want it un-clickable, have a [ubutton] over everything which doesn't do anything (it intercepts all clicks though). When the patch is done loading, hide the panel and ubutton and you're ready to go.

A popup window with "Loading..." or something is also really easy, look to [pcontrol] for window and popup controls. awesome object in so many other cases too... combined with windows being floating or not, you can do pretty much anything you want.

A solution I often use is to open, in front of the patcher, a window which invite to wait, I close it when all is OK. It's very useful when some people using my patch don't remember they have to wait.
