Setting the cursor to busy eats cycles and adds a time-overhead. Personal preference is to simply 'set the cursor to watch' for any actity lasting up to a few seconds, or a progress bar updated every nth iteration (such as n mod 100 =0) for longer routines. For indeterminate activity length, I use an animated gif such as a barber's pole.
Short answer is I haven't used 'busy' in a long time. 2p/2c Hugh Senior FLCo _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
