Not to get defensive or anything :) but ...

My own view is that WAIT WINDOWs fill a void in standard GUI interface. A messagebox is very obtrusive for a status window. I like seeing the understated WAIT WINDOW to let me know something is happening, but that it doesn't require any feedback from me.

Just my oddball view!

>First (and no offense meant to anyone), but I don't use Wait Windows any longer except in development occasionally. The Messagebox has generally replaced it as a Windows standard, and Wait Windows look a little odd-ball now, IMO. They are sort of an artifact of the early 90s.

>Generally, though, when pinned-down concretely, most tasks of Wait Windows can either go to a normal Messagebox, or displayed on the Statusbar. Very standard, the techniques you see in almost all apps done with any development tool now.
