I am currently working on a form that has a menu. I have one particular item in the menu that once clicked some process (Process A) is being done which takes approximately 60 seconds, in the meantime I want that if this item is clicked again a message showing that Process A is in progress.

I have tried doing some OnTimedEvent but cannot find a way on how to implement a clean solution.

Any hints please of how is the best way to do it.

It'd be simpler to disable the menu item when the task runs and re-enable it when it stops.

The simplest way would be to use a BackgroundWorker, and handle the RunWorkerCompleted[^] event.
Create a class level private bool "taskInProgress" and set it true just before you start the task.
In the event handler, set it to false.
Then all you have to do is check the bool and report the message or start the task.
