use progress window, it is the simplest way. if you don't want to see cancel
button just set 'cancel' value in its callback to true and it will disappear
or if you don't need this form-like look you can save part of screen, draw some
text or icon (i use clocks like in windows) and when action finished return
original content back. this is even more simple (you don't have to make
callbacks etc.), but you will have no possibility to cancel the action

Im looking to just pop up a box over the form that says please wait, or
connection to server, or something like that. Its for a task that will take
3-6 seconds if there is a good connection to the internet. Or the netsocket
functions will timeout after 20 secs. I simply want to put a please wait
box over the current form. I dont need to update this text in anyway, and I
dont need user input (but adding a cancel button there might be a good idea,
but its not needed since the network lib fucntions have a pretty low timeout
value). I think I have tried to work with progress call backs before, but
had no success. Is this the only way to display such a box? or is there a
system call that can simply put one on the screen in the same was as
FrmCustomAlert, but without stoping the application to wait for user input?
