Use only one call to EvtGetEvent in you main event loop but change the evtWaitForever to some other reasonable number. Modify the event handler in your form to look for the nilEvent. Save the time when your form is created then check the time whenever you handle a nilEvent. If the required amount of time has pass, move on to the next screen. Any UI elements will still work normally (including your check boxes)
