Hi, I've been looking for something like this, too, some time ago, and I decided to go for a self-built solution, to be independent of the underlying widget-set. (I grayed-out all important widgets, which can be done automatically by walking, recursively, through the Controls property, and displayed a "throbber" with a few spinning dots on top of the form)

They do, though not for the "classic" style APIs like Win32 or Windows.Forms. There's an UWP class (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/uwp/api/Windows.UI.Xaml.Controls.ProgressRing) I think is intended for this. See also: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44054195/windows-is-there-a-built-in-loading-animation-i-can-reference-as-a-visual-c-r In Android it's called "Loading Spinner" IMHO and is somewhat OS-Supplied, although as I saw in many projects, in the end it's mostly self-built solutions. A quick search didn't bring up something similar for other widgetsets, too (at least GTK and Qt don't seem to support it natively ?)
