You can use an as-top-level form/class and then Show() it at the beginning of your project's "main.prg".
After the Show() there would be no Read Events but your long-lasting setup code.
And when it's done, you'd Hide() or Release() the splashscreen form followed by yourActualMainForm.Show() + Read Events.
