How do I implement the "loading please wait" message?

I have been looking for some info on how to show up the "loading please wait" between screens, but I didn't find anything.
Can somebody point me out where can I look for this info? or an example where I can see how to use this. What I'm trying to do is to show this when the user select a category from the custom video player exmaple.
Thanks in advance

I believe what you're looking for is the roOneLineDialog.

Another option, if you're using an roPosterScreen, is to display a loading message while you're switching categories with: screen.ShowMessage ('Loading ...')

Then call screen.ClearMessage () when you've finished loading. Just don't use the 'clear As Boolean' parameter to ClearMessage () that is documented in the Component Reference, because there's no such parameter.
