I have the same issue.

I'm loading a complex screen with multiple photos and videos.  I also 
have many complex medical diagnoses to lookup and the SQL is a bit 
slow.  On top of all this there are the vaguaries of networks. It can 
take 30-40 seconds.

I use a progress bar with about 10 steps and messages which change (see 
attached to this email).  I needed to use $app->Yield() to make it 
refresh properly.

But actually, I like your idea.  You could make it very 'high tech' 
style.  Some colour would be nice.  I think Wx::TextCtrl supports 
colour.  If you have any error messages, these could be in red with a 
larger font.  Or if there is important information this could be bold.

The advantage of scrolling over flashing text messages is that you can 
scroll back.

Good luck,

Steve.
