Hi all,
Here's an update that shows how to do this with the current way the Window is used.
<TelerikButton OnClick="@DoLongWork">Do long work</TelerikButton>
<TelerikWindow @bind-Visible="@LoadingSignVisible" Modal="true">
    <WindowTitle>
        <strong>Please Wait</strong>
    </WindowTitle>
    <WindowContent>
        @*Add animated gif and styling to taste*@
        Please wait...we are processing your request.
    </WindowContent>
</TelerikWindow>
@code {
    bool LoadingSignVisible { get; set; }
    //this method must be async so the UI can be updated while waiting for the remote service
    async Task DoLongWork()
    {
        LoadingSignVisible = true;
        await Task.Delay(3000);//simulate long running operation
        LoadingSignVisible = false;
    }
}
Regards,

The following article explains how you can make a loading sign for a client app: https://docs.telerik.com/blazor-ui/knowledge-base/loading-sign-client-app. After the app has initialized, switching views in a client app is a resource-intensive operation that blocks the browser UI thread, so you can't render a component during that operation.
Perhaps an option for a loading sign can be available with server-side Blazor where there may be some latency in the network traffic and server responses, so I am leaving this idea open so its implementation will be considered when it becomes popular.
