Here's an alternate bit of wait window code that will only update at a certain frame per second rate, and you can update it as often as you like.

See the previous message to get the attached .ZIP file.

Sample use:

SET CLASSLIB TO ww.vcx
PUBLIC goWw AS ww OF ww.vcx
goWw = CREATEOBJECT("ww")

goWw.wait_window("Hello world!  Timeout in 2 seconds.", 2)
goWw.wait_window("Persisting message")
goWw.wait_window_clear()
