Nothing else that waiting for information from the net server which will 
decide what to do on the user's request which fired the visual component 
event.

Response times from the server (depending on data amount and DB access) 
go between 0.5 and 2 secs. A classic wait modal window will be annoying. 
On a user point of view, click a button and see result within 2 or 3 
seconds. With WinCE hand held devices (240 x 320) windows managing looks 
like the horror room.
and the timer event (or
