Hi Chad,
I understand you explanation about moving the mouse and it clearing the NOWAIT message. However, I didn't originally have a NOWAIT and the message never appeared for me. Also, I changed Borislav's example to add a NOWAIT and it works even better (IMO) in that I can drag the item up/down without having to clear the WAIT WINDOW everytime. The message *is visible* even though the mouse is moving as I drag the item! It doesn't even flicker as I might have expected with it being cleared then shown rapidly!!
Regards,
Mike

>Perhaps you don't see it becuase the mouse is moving. With the NOWAIT clause, a mouse move will clear it. Since the mouse is moving to move the item which triggers the WAIT WINDOW, the mouse moving also clears the WAIT WINDOW, hence you don't see it. In the other example (that you say works for you) there is no NOWAIT clause so the WAIT WINDOW persists and you see it.
