UI feature - distinguishing in progress from done

[duncand]

Sometimes the system running a Dataphor GUI application can be slow. Currently the forms for a particular application can display and appear to be "done" but show no records, however the lack of records might just be because the system is still processing and getting ready to retrieve/display them. So we have a problem where we can't distinguish "done" from "in progress".

This feature request is to add some kind of indicator either to a form as a whole or to each independently loaded portion thereof (such as a record list viewer) that displays when an activity is in progress and then disappears or explicitly says done when the waiting is over. It doesn't have to show fraction of progress, just yes or no, but ideally it would be animated in some way.
