to run a script when opening a dialog box?

I intend to improvise here a kind of window that shows only a message "PROCESSING .... WAIT!" when executing a task through a script. The window has to be of the "Dialog" type and not "Palette" I hate palettes.

It will work this way:

First open the window and then automatically run the main event without closing the window ..... after completing the whole process would execute this line: Dlg.close ();

I do not know if this is crazy of me, but I believe there is some specialist who can show me some possibility.

Correct answer r-bin

Type "window" is not suitable instead of "palette"?

var d = new Window("window", "", undefined, {maximizeButton:false, minimizeButton:false, closeButton:true} );
d.add("statictext", undefined, "PROCESSING .... WAIT!");
d.show()
//some comde 
//for (var i = 0; i < 100; i++)  activeDocument.activeLayer = activeDocument.layers
d.close()

    Just in CC2018 (on win7 at least) does not work very well. The control flags of the window buttons are ignored. (
