Nishit,
In Visual FoxPro we have a function/command called:

WAIT WINDOW

it allows us to display messages to the user, and by default they appear at the top of the screen. They can be fairly large, and multiple lines (by embedding carridge returns), and we can control what makes the message go away.
The message can go away by either hitting a key, clicking or moving the mouse or waiting for a pre-determined amount of time. ... They can even beep or play an audio file, if you embed an ASCII 7 in the output string.

I don't know VB well enough but suspect the same thing exist in VB in some form....if not then chalk up another minor victory for Visual FoxPro.

BTW - Does VB implement inheritance yet?
