I have created a DLL with wait_window() and wait_window_clear(). They run in a separate thread with their own message handlers, and the windows are top-level windows without a tie in to the parent's message queue thread, meaning they won't stall as VFP's message queue sometimes stalls if you steal focus away from the window and come back.

It updates 30 times per second max, but you can send it thousands of things per second and it will simply update with whatever's there when the 30 times per second ticks come around.

I'll post the code in the next day or so.
