Loading cursor/bar for a button

Ignition
1

Hi everyone!

I'm having trouble figuring out how to show that a script is running when I click on the button that runs the script. I was thinking to use the wait cursor since when I run the script the entire window freezes for a while.

The script is inside the action performed event handler of the button and sort of looks like this:

  1. define function() [function modifies a really big SQL dataset which is why it takes so long]
  2. call function()
  3. assign values based on function return

If there's a better way for me to implement the script for the loader to work, please let me know! I'm new to ignition so I'm still learning about all the features it has and how to implement them.
