Doing your lengthy process on a separate thread is the recommended way
to go.

If you don't want to use multiple threads, then your lengthy process needs
to periodically pump all Windows messages so the UI will remain
responsive.

Here's an example MFC message pump (implemented in the application class)
void CMyWinApp::PumpWaitingMessages()
{ 
    MSG msg;
    while ( ::PeekMessage( &msg, NULL, 0, 0, PM_NOREMOVE ) ) 
    { 
        if ( !PumpMessage( ) ) 
        { 
            //::PostQuitMessage(0); 
            break; 
        } 
    } 
}

A Win32 message pump could be something like
MSG     msg;
while ( PeekMessage( &msg, NULL, 0, 0, PM_REMOVE ) )
{
	TranslateMessage( &msg );
	DispatchMessage( &msg );
}

Note that you'll want to disable any UI components that you don't want the user
to mess with during the lengthy process.
