Although I'm sure there are other ways, you can use fl_deactivate_form for
blocking and fl_set_cursor(form->window,XC_watch) to give the user some
feedback. I use this method when all forms al controlled by callbacks.

I do not remember now, but I think there are some examples with the xforms
distribution.
