If you have the object where the input occurred, you can use OBJTOCLIENT(o,N) to obtain the coordinates (left, top, width and height) of the location where the input was errant. Then, converting those pixel values to foxels, you can determine where to position the wait window.

I think the wait window popup near the location is a great idea.

Another one to consider is create a custom class that you can instantiate where you would do the wait window. That class would have a timer and after so many seconds, automatically close unless the user was hovering over it, for example. That way you can decorate it with any colors you like, particular messages, and if you later add extensible features to it you can log the events, send them to a queue which can be examined by the user after the fact, or whatever.

I think the MessageBox() suggestion is a bad idea because it steals focus away and disrupts trains of thought. The user is focused on the grid, and like you suggest, that's where their focus should remain. Proximity popups which persist for a time, then go away silently, are a great idea.
