>>Hi, Andrus,

>>I do something pretty simple - in my base form class, I have an invisible label at the bottom of the screen, with a background/foreground color that's completely different than the rest of the form. Anytime I need to display a message that something is running/processing, I set the label to visible and set the text for the label (for example, "Processing...please wait"). When the processing is done, I set it back to invisible. I've automated it in my base form so that the methods are almost identical to a "wait window" method. It's maybe not as glamarous as another popup window that's displaying an animated icon or something, but it works.

Why not put the status strip on your form? You can do the progress bar or text and it's just there.
