A TTimer won't work because it is also message-based, thus you would need to
call ProcessMessages() just to make the timer itself work.

You need to either:

1) call ProcessMessages() inside your actual length operation itself

2) move your lengthy operation to its own thread so that the main VCL thread
is no longer blocked at all. (recommended)
