This is the normal behaviour of the wait window. You might try the Sleep() API instead:

DECLARE Sleep IN Win32API INTEGER nMilliseconds
WAIT WINDOW NOWAIT "Monitoring FTP Server..."
Sleep(30000)
WAIT CLEAR

>I have the following code in one of my programs:
> wait window 'Monitoring FTP Server...' noclear timeout 30
>I am attempting to simulate a timer but if the user presses a key or clicks the mouse the wait window is cleared and program execution continues, I do not want that to happen. I want the program to wait for 30 seconds no matter what happens... what am I doing wrong??
