    14 <p>Wait notes contain a wait graphic of indefinite duration. They are used
       
    15 during operations that take a long time when it is not possible to estimate
       
    16 the duration of the operation. Whenever possible, the user should be able
       
    17 to stop the operation. For this, a softkey labeled for example,<uicontrol>Cancel</uicontrol> is
       
    18 provided.</p>

    24      <title>Using wait notes in C++ applications</title>     <p>You can create
       
    25 either a basic wait note that is displayed only when your application is in
       
    26 the foreground or a global note that stays displayed even if the application
       
    27 launching the note is not in the foreground.

    28 predefined notes that cannot be used just by instantiating a simple note class.
       
    29 These notes' lifetime is based on a background process, and client code has
       
    30 to provide an interface to retrieve this information. For implementation information,
