I've already got code doing that - it looks like nothing is happening until the data crunching is over. I want the form controls to appear *first*, then lockscreen and do the data crunching. But the page won't show anything.

When the page is activated, it does some heavy data processing including SQL work to populate the grid and textboxes with results of some of those calculations. Given the time it's taking to do the work, I wanted to display the page blank (so the user sees a quick response) and then fill in the data.
