My app downloads data from a server, which can take a long time or fail, so

There is ample documentation and disussion explaining how to run such a long
task in a secondary thread.  But in my case the app cannot continue until
the downloaded data is processed; I therefore ^do^ want the app to block
during the download, except that my "Cancel" button must be responsive.


Have you considered using a modal session, or a modal window?
