In the code below, process() method takes some time to process data and eventually update components with the results.

To show user that system is working on the request, I would like to show a "Loading..." message before processing begins and then "Done" message when done processing.

what happens is that the "Loading..." message never appears. After few seconds(could be longer) the data appears with the message "Done".

Is there any way to get the UIEngine to send the request to paint "Loading..."
message immediately to client and not bundle it up with rest of the update?

If there is any other way to achieve the same result, please advise.

<button label="Search" >
<attribute name="onClick">
msgLabel.value="Loading...";
process();
msgLabel.value="Done";
</attribute>
</button>

Thanks!
