In-Progress Message

[ ]
An in-progress message in a secondary window should contain at least a graphic image, a textual label or message, and the OK and Close choices.

[ ]
Do not interfere with the user's interaction with an application just because an in-progress message is being displayed; for example, normally make the in-progress message window a modeless window.

[ ]
Close an in-progress message window when a request made by a user completes normally.

[ ]
If information that would have been displayed in an information message is displayed in an in-progress message, do not close the window until the user explicitly requests to close it, such as by activating the Close push button.

[ ]
Provide a Close push button to allow a user to close the in-progress message window without affecting the task.

[ ]
Display the hourglass symbol at the left of an in-progress message. For information on bidirectional and vertical language support, see Chapter 11.
