Display Progress Indicator and Show Remaining Time

Report performance is one of common issues identified during realization until production support phase. It is sometime unavoidable to have one report or interface runs very long and need to figure out ways to make things acceptable by the users. There are actually few ways to iron out the situation, one of them is by displaying progress indicator so user knows what to expect and how long they still have to wait until the program give them the report. Better still if program show them the estimated remaining execution time.

At the bottom I include code template I use to display progress indicator with remaining items and time.
