How about:
1. Make sure that your event loop inserts nil events when the pop up is
active. for example:
EvtGetEvent(&e, sysTicksPerSecond / 4); // nil events every
0.25 seconds
2. Pop up the window when needed:
FrmPopupForm(InfoForm);
3. In the event handler for the popup save the time the form was opened in a
static and test the value at each nil event, then close the form:
static int ticks;
switch (event->eType)
{
case frmOpenEvent:
ticks = TimGetTicks();
...
case nilEvent:
if (abs(TimGetTicks() - ticks) > numTicks)
FrmReturnToForm(0);
....

Subject: Pop up STATUS display
What is the easiest way in SF 3.1 to pop an informaitonal window that
disappears on its on? Just want to display certain status
events, but not hold up the app with a required response...
