: How do I dispay a message to indicate a procedure is being executed and terminate it after the execution is finished, without having the user to click a ok button(e.g. showmessage function)? Please Help

There are several possibilities:

1. Show a form of your own and hide it when the procedure ends. Example:

begin
  FormMessage.Show;
  ...
  FormMessage.Hide;
end;

2. Put a label or a TMemo with your message text on a panel, that has its Visible property set to False. When your lengthy procedure runs, make the panel visible and at the end hide it again:

begin
  PanelMessage.Visible := True;
  ...
  PanelMessage.Visible := False;
end;
