No, the form will not display until the listview has been populated. So, PAUSE 4 is the BEFORE START and CLS in the AFTER START will do it quite nicely.

That's OK though because the PAUSE box can be moved to the side while the form loads.

If you put up a PAUSE 3 or 4 box with a "please wait..." message, then, since it is TOPMOST and in the centre of the screen, it obscures part of the CHOOSE box. You can position the CHOOSE and PAUSE boxes with property commands, but then the "please wait..." message will continue to appear after the CHOOSE list opens. It seems in this case that it would be nice to be able to make the CHOOSE box be TOPMOST so it obscures the PAUSE box. Or is there another way of achieving this?

It should always be "top most."

It should always be "top most", shouldn't it? Would you ever want it to be behind something, waiting for a response and not visible?
