HIDE_VIEW in Forms 4.5

Hi,

I'm trying to setup a "wait window" in Forms 4.5. I have a window called "MAIN_WINDOW", and two canvas-views called
"MAIN_CANVAS" and "WAIT_CANVAS". What I want is when the
user clicks on a button (with MAIN_CANVAS visible), is to have the WAIT_CANVAS pop over it (it then contains a message such as please wait). This works fine. After the processing is done, I want the WAIT_CANVAS to disapear, for that I use HIDE_VIEW('WAIT_CANVAS'). However, the WAIT_CANVAS is still there and I have to click on the MAIN_CANVAS to "hide" the WAIT_CANVAS. Is this some sort of bug in Forms or am I missing something? I also tried using SET_VIEW_PROPERTY to change the VISIBLE property to PROPERTY_FALSE, but the result is the same.

The WAIT_CANVAS is STACKED so I can still see the MAIN_CANVAS underneath it.

The code is pretty simple and is in the WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger:

Show_View('WAIT_CANVAS');
Validate_Template; -- Procedure doing some processing... Hide_View('WAIT_CANVAS');

Ideas anyone? Or if anyone has another idea for displaying a wait window I'd appreciate any tip (I do NOT want to use
"message" to display the wait message on the status line.)

thanks in advance,
Michel
