This will never work. If your method showing the progress would remain in a function call (in a loop I'd presume) there would be no visible updates to the GUI frontend and your application would seem to be frozen. The display of your progressbar or loader indicator will also have to work asynchronously. I suggest you use a timer to make the changes to your progressbar / loader until the indication was received that the URL has been fully loaded.

Cheers!
