Hi Tom
Not heard of a "loading bar" before, can you point me in the direction where I
can read more.
I have considered maybe displaying a dialog would some message i.e. "please
wait", maybe even with an embedded ProgressBar if such a thing is available. I
have seen some mention of a Uno Toolkit but have not pursued it yet.

Hi :)
I think the devs list might be a better place to ask but it was good to try
here first. Would a loading bar be easier?

Hi All
I've built a database, using Base, which amongst other things produces a
mailing list. On my 10 year old DeskTop it can take several minutes to produce
the list.
I want to show some activity to the users, so the mouse cursor morphing into
an HourGlass would suit me fine.
I've got this to work as long as I don't move the mouse. The code is -
oFrame = StarDesktop.CurrentFrame
oWindow = oFrame.getContainerWindow()
oPointer = createUnoService("com.sun.star.awt.Pointer")
oPointer.SetType(com.sun.star.awt.SystemPointer.WAIT)
oWindow.setPointer(oPointer)
However, If I move the mouse the cursor reverts back to the appropriate style
for the control which it is over.
>From several discussions there seems to be an indication that I need to
disable the mousemotionlisteners. In going any further I seem to have hit a
brick wall.
Can anyone advise what I should do to keep the cursor displaying the hourglass
during the duration of a task irrespective as the whether the mouse moves or
not.
Thanks
