note</title><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>

<p>Wait notes contain a wait graphic of indefinite duration. They are used

during operations that take a long time when it is not possible to estimate

the duration of the operation. Whenever possible, the user should be able

to stop the operation. For this, a softkey labeled for example,<uicontrol>Cancel</uicontrol> is

provided.</p>

     <title>Using wait notes in C++ applications</title>     <p>You can create

either a basic wait note that is displayed only when your application is in

the foreground or a global note that stays displayed even if the application

launching the note is not in the foreground. The related APIs are the <xref format="html" href="specs/guides/Notes_API_Specification/Notes_API_Specification.html" scope="peer">Notes API</xref> (for basic notes) and the <xref format="html" href="specs/guides/Notifiers_API_Specification/Notifiers_API_Specification.html" scope="peer">Notifiers API</xref> (for global notes). </p><p>Wait notes are

predefined notes that cannot be used just by instantiating a simple note class.

These notes' lifetime is based on a background process, and client code has

to provide an interface to retrieve this information. For implementation information,

see <xref format="html" href="specs/guides/Notes_API_Specification/Notes_API_Specification.html#Notes_API_Specification.topic3.3" scope="peer">Creating a wait note</xref>.</p><p>To create a global wait note,

use the class <xref href="jar:GUID-759FBC7F-5384-4487-8457-A8D4B76F6AA6.jar!/html/classCAknGlobalNote.html" format="application/java-archive"><codeph>CAknGlobalNote</codeph></xref> in
