I implemented your suggestion as follows:

ThisForm.AddObject("TextBox1","TextBox")
WITH ThisForm.TextBox1
 .top=48
 .left=10
 .height=80
 .width=635
 .FontSize=11
 .visible=.T.
 .enabled=.F.
ENDWITH

ThisForm.Lockscreen=.F.
ThisForm.TextBox1.value='lengthy process .. please wait'
ThisForm.TextBox1.Refresh()

I had to add the Refresh() at the end before the screen would update on queue, has this been your experience also ?
