We're writing a VFP app to replace a 2.6 version (yeah, don't get me started!), and one of the more annoying problems I've come across is that if a WAIT WINDOW is used, it appears on the main form (the first form opened). Now, we have Modal forms opening on top of that modal form, and if a WAIT is activated, it causes some problems, the upshot being that I have to minimize a form that is not minimized, but is not visible either, then maximize it again. Huh?
I've managed to get rid of a lot of the 2.6 WAITs using messageboxes and a status bar, but I'm concerned about things like read-only grids (used big time). If the user attempts to type directly into one, they get a system-generated WAIT ("this control is read-only" which causes the same problems as before.
Is there anyway of making sure the WAIT window appears in the active form?
