UI feedback information.

I have an App that takes data from one database and sends it to another. This process can take a lot of time when there are a lot of records to transfer. During this transfer time the present interface does very little or nothing.

What I am looking for is a way to easliy let the user know that the program is working and has not crashed or froze. I am thinking about having a series of icons that can be changed to show the program working.

How would I start doing something like this? Is there an easier or better method?

easiest way is to use a progress bar.
