@class wxBusyInfo
This class makes it easy to tell your user that the program is temporarily busy.
Just create a wxBusyInfo object on the stack, and within the current scope,
a message window will be shown.
Normally the main thread should always return to the main loop to continue
dispatching events as quickly as possible, hence this class shouldn't be
needed. However if the main thread does need to block, this class provides
a simple way to at least show this to the user: just create a wxBusyInfo
object on the stack, and within the current scope, a message window will be
shown.

It works by creating a window in the constructor, and deleting it
in the destructor.
This window is rather plain by default but can be customized by passing
wxBusyInfo constructor an object of wxBusyInfoFlags class instead of a
simple message. Here is an example from the @ref page_samples_dialogs:
@code
wxBusyInfo info
(
wxBusyInfoFlags()
.Parent(this)
.Icon(wxArtProvider::GetIcon(wxART_PRINT,
wxART_OTHER, wxSize(128, 128)))
.Title("<b>Printing your document</b>")
.Text("Please wait...")
.Foreground(*wxWHITE)
.Background(*wxBLACK)
.Transparency(4*wxALPHA_OPAQUE/5)
);
@endcode
showing that separate title and text can be set, and that simple markup
(@ref wxControl::SetLabelMarkup()) can be used in them, and that it's also
possible to add an icon and customize the colours and transparency of the
window.
You may also want to call wxTheApp->Yield() to refresh the window
periodically (in case it had been obscured by other windows, for
example) like this:
