Progress Bar Loading

[intrascopellc]

Whenever a heavy workflow is run on my application, the blue loading progress bar shows up on the top of the screen for a few seconds.

How can I make it so that when that loading progress bar shows, the screen is completely frozen for any users so that they can’t tap the screen and run any other workflows?

Or if possible, is there a way I could change the progress loading bar to a gray spinning circle that pauses the screen for users while the application is in the process of loading/running a workflow.

Any help is much appreciated.
Thank you!

Have you thought about maybe displaying a pop up that the user can’t close but only closes when your workflow is done?

This post might help, too.

Don’t recommend using a popup for this as, maybe just change the state of the page with the resource @mikeloc mentioned
