How would i show the standard mendix modal progress bar in a custom widget when a long running microflow is triggered? I need the blocking progress bar to display with a custom message while the microflow is running.

Roeland's answer is correct, but you can also show a progress bar manually with the following code:

var isModal = true; var pid = mx.ui.showProgress("Here's a message!", isModal); // show progress dialog mx.ui.hideProgress(pid); // hide it again

See https://developers.mendix.com/docs-and-api/apis/web-client-api/

From https://apidocs.mendix.com/5/client/mx.ui.html

mx.ui.action Execute a Microflow from the UI. This is basically a wrapper around mx.data.action(), setting the default caller to the current form, and giving the option of showing a progress bar while running the Microflow.

mx.ui.action("MyFirstModule.StartEngine", {
    context: new mendix.lib.MxContext(),
    progress: "modal",
    callback: function(result) {
        console.log("Engine started: " + result);
    }
});

A Progress Bar microflow button widget shows a progress messages and a progress bar during the processing of microflows. In the MF the messages and percentage can be updated and are show to the user directly.
