Thanks to Chris I was able to solve the problem of
missing status bar updates in a long running command.
The solution he suggested is to process the Windows event queue
from time to time and it works just fine.
The enclosed test program contains a solution that
(1) blocks the app while the long running command is active
and (2) that allows to interrupt the command by the user.
I did not want to process input events such as mouse clicks
or keybourd inputs while the command is running because
this may invalidate assumtions made when the command
was started.
