Create an invisible wait window in the Activate Method of your WaitWind form. As soon as the wait window is cleared, release WaitWind. I'm guessing you want to make WaitWind generic so it can be called from any form in your app, so you'll need to add three bits of code.

First, add code to DO FROM WaitWind to pass a reference to the object you wish to have focus after WaitWind clears

DO FORM WaitWind.scx WITH This
- or -
DO FORM WaitWind .scx WITH Thisform.Text1

Second add code to the init of WaitWind to store the calling object reference in a property

Parameter oForm
ThisForm.AddProperty("oCallingObj",oForm)

Finally add the code to the Activate of WaitWind that does the work.

ThisForm.oCallingObj.setfocus
wait window ""
thisform.release()
