Default How do I display a (non-modal) progress message?

Bit of a newbie Q: How do you best display a non-modal message to the
user?

You know, like MsgBox, only non-modal?

***

I have a UserForm. The user can click a button to start a process that
takes some minutes to run.

During that time, in the center of the screen I display a progress
message, "iiii out of jjjj thingies processed ..."

To do that, I use a Label.

The Label lives on the form. I keep the Label hidden. At display time
I reveal it, update it repeatedly with my message (not necessarily on
every iteration, depending on CPU speed), then hide it again when
done.

Do you think this is the best way to implement a progress message?

Thanks.
