Show loginform if authorization missing - best practice?

Hello,

I watched the video of Holger Flick "Await to open new forms" and now I try to do the following:

On the mainform I'd like to check, if a cookie with a JWT is present. If not, the login form should be shown.

I tried this while using the mainforms WebFormCreate doing something like this:

  lCookies := TCookies.Create;
  try
    lCookies.GetCookies;
    lCookie := lCookies.Find('jwt');
    if not assigned(lCookie) then
    begin
      newform := TForm4.Create(Self);
      newform.Popup := false;
      await(TForm4, newform.Load());
      try
        // excute form and wait for close
        await(TModalResult, newform.Execute);
      finally
        newform.Free;
      end;

But this way it is not working. I assume that it is not valid to use this code in the FormCreate method. Using a Timer with the OnTimer-Event it works fine. But then the mainform is shown for a small amount of time before the LoginForm is shown. What would be the best practice to show the mainform, if a JWT ist present and to show the LoginForm if not?

You would need to move the opening of what will be your main form after login to effectively load this AFTER login is successful.
Or alternatively, set everything on the main form invisible and make it visible after successful login
