Robert,

There is something about your form class that is either putting a mouse or keyboard event into the queue maybe even clearing the WAIT while it is instantiating. I just ran this code and the wait window stayed visible:

WAIT "Processing Graphics" WINDOW NOWAIT NOCLEAR

oGraph = CREATEOBJECT("form")
oGraph.Visible = .t.

for i = 1 to 10
   ?? '.'
   doevents
endfor

WAIT CLEAR

>I don't use the StatusBar. I only use Wait window for long processing. It is the first time that append in my program.
