How to indicate if the program is processing in app designer?

My program sometimes takes 10-20 seconds to run. The problem is that I don't have any way to see if the program is processing or it just hit a bug.
Is there a way in app designer to let the user know that the program is running after the they've pushed the button?
function CalculateButtonPushed(app, event)
x=app.XEditField.Value;
y=app.YEditField.Value;
z=app.ZEditField.Value;
I=app.CurrentAEditField.Value;
[Bx,By,Bz] = Magnetic_field_solenoid_cartesian1(app,x,y,z,I);
app.BxmGsEditField.Value=Bx;
app.BymGsEditField.Value=By;
app.BzmGsEditField.Value=Bz;
end

Put some text on the GUI? I created a BusyCursor class that I use in regular figure and GUIDE apps. No idea if it works with AppDesigner as I haven't tried, but essentially all it does is change the cursor to the Windows busy cursor.
In other situations I use a progress bar (one from the File Exchange, but the builtin waitbar works too).
and in other cases I simply put a small place on my GUI for info text and change it to 'Processing...' and then to 'Done' or something similar once processing completes.

Use the function dlg = uiprogressdlg(app.UIFigure); See documentation for all available options with the function.
