Can anyone tell me if it is programmatically possible to change the
mouse cursor to the default hourglass when I'm running a long process?
Dee,
If you wish to change the cursor while hovering over a control in form,
use the following supported PROPERTY, (also mentioned by Bill Downall)
in his earlier reply.
-- Syntax:
PROPERTY <ControlCompID> CURSOR 'cursortype'
-- Supported Cursor Types:
. AppStart
. Arrow
. Cross
. Default
. Drag
. HandPoint
. Help
. HourGlass
. HSplit
. IBeam
. MultiDrag
. No
. NoDrop
. SizeAll
. SizeNESW
. SizeNS
. SizeNWSE
. SizeWE
. SQLWait
. UpArrow
. VSplit
-- Example
PROPERTY <ControlCompID> CURSOR 'HourGlass'
RETURN
However, if you wish to dynamically change the cursor type throughout
the application, or conditionally when running a routine, follow the
steps below to use new PROPERTY command:
01. Start R:BASE Turbo V-8 (Build: 8.0.21.30820 or higher ...)
02. Use the following PROPERTY command in application startup file:
PROPERTY APPLICATION CURSOR 'cursortype'
-- Example
PROPERTY APPLICATION CURSOR 'HourGlass'
03. To switch back to normal cursor
-- Example
PROPERTY APPLICATION CURSOR 'Default'
That's all there is to it!
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak.
