Our website has a few long running processes which would be good if we could show a moving circle or hourglass to show the process is running.

I suppose I will need to create a thread but has anyone done something similar before or has an example I could look at?

    Are you seriously asking if anyone has ever done a spinner or if an example of doing a spinner actually exists? – Karl Anderson Jul 30 '13 at 14:46

  • To Karl Anderson, Really?? I've sorted it myself now thank you. You obviously are not busy if you spend your time putting idiotic responses on this website, maybe you should get a life!! – user616076 Aug 06 '13 at 01:23
  • To DJ KRAZE, I'm not lazy just very busy and thought I might save myself some time, why not just help in future without the comments or just don't bother. – user616076 Aug 06 '13 at 01:27

Attach some JavaScript on your longrunning process trigger and display an overlay with an gif that shows the busyness. After the process is done you can hide the overlay by adding JS to the page again.
