navigation key is pressed (keyboard or mouse).

WORKAROUND
==========

Click outside the outline control to deactivate WAIT WINDOW or select a key
other than keys used to navigate in the outline control (arrow keys, PGUP, or
PGDN).

STATUS

Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION
================

Steps to Reproduce Behavior
---------------------------

1. Create a new form, and drop an OLE Container Control onto the form. Select
  Insert Control for the OLE Container and Outline Control for the Control
  Type.

2. Add Vfp\Samples\Data\Customer.dbf to the Data Environment, and set the Order
  property of the Customer cursor to CONTACT.

3. In the form's Init event, place this code:

     ****** Begin INIT ******

     SELECT Customer
     GO TOP
     FOR lnI=1 to RECCOUNT()
       THISFORM.OLECONTROL1.ADDITEM(contact,lnI)
       THISFORM.OLECONTROL1.INDENT(lnI)=1
       SKIP
     ENDFOR
     THISFORM.REFRESH

     ******* End INIT *******

4. Inside the Outline control's DBLCLICK event, type:

     WAIT WINDOW

5. Run the form. Double-click any item inside the outline control. The Wait
  Window will not deactivate. You can move up and down the outline control list
  by using either the keyboard or mouse controls and the Wait window will still
  be active. You must select outside the outline control to deactivate the WAIT
  WINDOW.
