I assume you mean the wait window nowait feature? The regular wait window should be easy.
I was toying with the idea of creating a wait window .net but never got around to implementing it correctly. The problem is that the wait window needs its own message loop for processing windows messages. I think you need to use muti-threading to make it work. Meaning you need to use Thread.Start or create a delgate and use the BeginInvoke method of the delegate. I'll see if I can dig up my old code.
>I'm trying to simulate a WAIT WINDOW function in VB.Net, so I have created a small non-modal form with one label on it to hold the message. I pass the text message to show as a parameter, but the message does not appear. I have tried form.Refresh(), Form.Invalidate(), change the label to a textbox and many other methods to force the message to be painted, all without success. It does "flash" for moment just as the form is reactivated before it is closing.
