Hi Antonio

Is the following correct:

When your application calls CursorWait() and the hour glass cursor is displayed, this DISABLES all keyboard and mouse clicking in your application until you call CursorArrow()

Can you please confirm the above or explain better

Thanks
Peter

Peter,

No, not at all. The keyboard and mouse events keep being processed, unless you :Disable() the window.

Antonio

The cursorwait hourglass cursor does not let you click on anything so in that way it seems to disable clicking

Thanks
Peter

Peter,

What process are you doing in your application after you call CursorWait() ?

The process may be consuming all the CPU cycles and thats why it seems that events are not processed. Turning one cursor into another, will not make the application stop processing events.

Antonio

The proces is an intensive loop through a dbf, so you are probably correct

I am confused because sometimes they seem to work and other times they seem to get reset to the default cursor

I will try read up on them

Thanks for your assistance

Peter

Peter,

If you don't want to process any events, simply :Disable() the window. When you are done, :Enable() it.

Also if you do an intensive loop, you should call SysRefresh(), at certain places, to let Windows process its pending messages, or Windows will stop responding.
