Stop execution until GUI is completed

Question

I wrote a program to monitor a seniority list. If an odd last name, first name, etc is encountered, a gui opens to request the proper form of the name. The problem is that the program keeps running even though the gui has not yet been fililed out. How do I stop execution until the GUI is completed?
Thanks
Joe
