A little late, but you can do LockWindowUpdate. Its a typical MS
crock. You can only have on lock ever, so there is no Unlock, just
call it again with 0 for handle.
Incidentally, we you cant persuade something to update right away,
use the above... ie
LockWindowUpdate (form.handle);
LockWindowUpdate (0);
