Lockscreen and progress bar

[Terry Judd]

How about taking a screengrab just before you run the loop, place that over the top of the content that changes, layer the progress thingy over that and then delete the screengrab and hide the thingy when the loop is done?

Subject: Lockscreen and progress bar
Hi list,

I have a main loop that does a lot of things, like resizing images,
precessing imagedata, creating fields and groups, etc.
On top of the loop I have added "lock screen" to speed things up, and
also because I don't want users to see what is going on, only the final
layout when the loop is over.
However, while the loop is running, I would like to have a progress bar
and a message such as "step 1/20" etc.

How can I handle that ? I took a look at callbacks, but unless I missed
something, it seems limited to players.

Thank you in advance.
jbv
