Show/Hide a Wait Message Dialog

This action lets your package display or hide a wait message dialog: this dialog does not contain any button, it works as an indicator to inform end users what the package is doing. You can see similar messages in standard Setup programs (“Please wait while creating shortcuts…”).

The message dialog is non-modal: that means the package will continue its execution during the display of this message.
