It can take quite some time for large databases (minutes), and when the spinning wheel cursor appears they think my app has hung and force-quit. How can I put up a dialog that  shows the update is still working (e.g. a barber pole control)?

Actually, a lot of that time may be spent in cloning (I clone a copy of the database before letting Valentina update it). The question still is -- how to manage the UI while cloning/updating a database so the user doesn't think it has hung?
