Hi Robert,

I would rather that you stick with the default MessageBoxes, than creating your own forms. You could achieve the functionality you are looking for by using a timer.

Here is an example how you can actieve this. I use a timer and a commandbutton on the form...

thisform.MyTimer.Interval = 2000

*-- Form.MyTimer.Timer()
KEYBOARD '{ENTER}'

*-- Form.cmdTest.Click()
thisform.MyTimer.Enabled = .T.
=MessageBox('Test')
thisform.MyTimer.Enabled = .F.

You can extend this by writing a global function for displaying messages which would create a timer for each message and then destroy it or control its enabling/disabling.
