 For example:
 
 \begin{verbatim}
-  wxBusyInfo wait("Please wait, working...");
+    wxBusyInfo wait("Please wait, working...");
 
-  for (int i = 0; i < 100000; i++)

 It works by creating a window in the constructor,
 and deleting it in the destructor.
 
+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:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+    wxWindowDisabler disableAll;
+
+    wxBusyInfo wait("Please wait, working...");
+
+    for (int i = 0; i < 100000; i++)
+    {
+        DoACalculation();
+
+        if ( !(i % 1000) )
+            wxTheApp->Yield();
+    }
+\end{verbatim}
+
+but take care to not cause undesirable reentrancies when doing it (see 
+\helpref{wxApp::Yield()}{wxappyield} for more details). The simplest way to do
+it is to use \helpref{wxWindowDisabler}{wxwindowdisabler} class as illustrated
+in the above example.
