Hi, is it possible to use the "busy" animation via script? Confluence had a little box on the lower right, Estuary has those neat looking spinning cycles in the middle of the screen.

I don't want to use "xbmcgui.DialogProgress()", because the script finishes too fast sometimes and the box just flashes. "xbmcgui.DialogProgressBG()" is a bit better, but not really suited for the task. The user should see if the add-on/Kodi is fetching informations.
Code:
xbmc.executebuiltin('ActivateWindow(10138)')  # Busy dialog on
xbmc.executebuiltin('Dialog.Close(10138)')  # Busy dialog off
Wow, that was quick. Thank you very much.
