Just reading my own post I relaise that it requires a bit more explanation.
A panel can't float above other panels. But what you can do is make the
wait panel zero height. When you want to show the message make the datagrid
panel(s) zero height and the wait panel full height. This may or may not
look ghastly. You may just want make the caption of the datagrid panel
"please wait" and make the datagrids invisible. Again this might look
ghastly depending on how long the query takes.
