Solution 1

Hello,
Why not changing the cursor to wait at process start and restore it at end of process?
If your processes are in task, you can use the event Progresschanged to handle your message box.
Best regards.

Solution 2

The simplest way for doing this is by using a Timer object and use a short time interval (like 100 ms) to check a wait flag that will be set on true when the process start and on false when the process will be finished. The wait form will be activated when the process start and the timer method will check when to close it based on the wait flag.

The 100ms time interval is minimum about of time used to show the wait form. Is the time used by the timer to invoke its method for checking if the process was finished or not. So is no problem to use 100 ms for your timer!
