Run Scripts'' Please Wait " UI massage box ( help me ) #Photoshop

Question

I want the massage box "please wait" to appear while running scripts that are waiting for a long time...

I have some scripts that wait for 30 seconds so is there any script that I can integrate to pop up the please wait massage box while the scripts are running?

@Stephen Marsh thanks for the shoutout.For a simple "working on it" message, this is what I use... // CREATE WORKING WINDOWvar working = new Window("palette");working.preferredSize = [300, 80];working.add("statictext");working.t = working.add("statictext");working.add("statictext");working.display = function (message) {this.t.text = message || "Working... Please wait...";this.show();app.refresh();};// USAGEworking.display();// Gives the default message. Want something else? Pass it.working.display("A different message");// When done...working.close();// It is also possible to .hide() and .show the window.working.hide(); // It goes away but still exists.working.show(); // Now it is back.

Or perhaps with a CEP or UXP Panel?

As a simpler alternative, maybe you could hide all panels at the start of the script, then restore the panels afterwards as a visual indication of processing (this has the added benefit of slightly speeding up the runtime when batch processing):

// Hide the Photoshop panels
app.togglePalettes();
