Oh sorry, I misread.
How about doing the loading asynchronous instead then? Just disable the
elements that wont work because its still loading and use Form.Invoke to
inform the form of when it can enable the elements and load them from the
data computed? That should solve your problem, although watch out for having
the form being disposed by the time you reach the Form.Invoke call.
