onSaveDone Event and displayMessage

I have a displayMessage call in my function for the onSaveDone event, but the message is not being displayed at the bottom of the DCT. Or, and what I believe to be the case, it is working but Teamsite uses that area of the DCT to write "Saving..." and then clears out whatevers there. Even if the displayMessage is the last line of code in the onSaveDone function - it doesn't work. Anyone have any tricks to get this to work?

[html]
...

IWEventRegistry.addFormHandler("onSaveDone", onSaveDone);

...

function onSaveDone(){

var language = IWDatacapture.getItem('/topic/metadata/infoArchMetaData/language');
language.setReadOnly(true);

alert("before");
IWDatacapture.displayMessage("Hello World");
alert("after");

}

...

[/html]

In between alerts I see the message display correctly, but then is gets cleared out.

TS 6.7.1 SP1
Solaris 10
Thanks!~

I guess the correct event where you can write such a message is OnSaveValid or OnSave. because on Savedone event, if you dont have any explicit handlers, the DCT will close.
The Saving message what you see is displayed during OnSave.

function onSaveDone(saveSuccessful) {
   // Your handler code here....
   setTimeout("SayHello()", 500);
}
function SayHello() {
   IWDatacapture.displayMessage("Hello World");
}

The DCT doesn't necessarily close after the onSaveDone event. It depends how the user saved the DCR (save or finish?). And, if code is written in onSave, or onSaveValid events to display a message - I'll have the same problem because the onSaveDone event is the last one to be triggered.

Boris, the timeout code worked. Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks.
