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 e.g. <uicontrol>Cancel</uicontrol> is provided.</p><fig id="GUID-12944F1C-48F3-4E80-804B-A585B911F0C8-GENID-1-6-1-6-1-1-5-1-18-1-1-8-1-2-1-2">

     <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 Notes

API (for basic notes) and the Notifiers

API (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 Creating a wait note.</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

the Notifiers

API. For implementation information, see Using

global notes and Using

global notes with user interaction.</p><p>For basic notes, you can

change the icon or text displayed in the note, use a different kind of sound,

or change the note duration using the setter methods in the class <xref href="jar:GUID-759FBC7F-5384-4487-8457-A8D4B76F6AA6.jar!/html/classCAknNoteDialog.html" format="application/java-archive"><codeph>CAknNoteDialog</codeph></xref>: <xref href="jar:GUID-759FBC7F-5384-4487-8457-A8D4B76F6AA6.jar!/html/classCAknNoteDialog.html#bfce8dc1591cae822feca43a093a11a9" format="application/java-archive"><codeph>SetIconL</codeph></xref>, <xref href="jar:GUID-759FBC7F-5384-4487-8457-A8D4B76F6AA6.jar!/html/classCAknNoteDialog.html#ae7db1ca3d39de28ae4793b4e7cf79cb" format="application/java-archive"><codeph>SetTextL</codeph></xref>, <xref href="jar:GUID-759FBC7F-5384-4487-8457-A8D4B76F6AA6.jar!/html/classCAknNoteDialog.html#5f887d8738ed0f061a1c9e82cf3a14a5" format="application/java-archive"><codeph>SetTone</codeph></xref>, and <xref href="jar:GUID-759FBC7F-5384-4487-8457-A8D4B76F6AA6.jar!/html/classCAknNoteDialog.html#8778e804a7709588a4cd23134f79674c" format="application/java-archive"><codeph>SetTimeout</codeph></xref>.</p><p>For information on customizing
