Change Cursor for a few Minutes

[porto99]

While I process a large MS Access table I would like to change the cursor to an Hourglass and then back again to the usual pointer.

I pump the message queue during the processing, but would now like to change the cursor also.

Cheers,

The call you need is SetCursor, which returns the current cursor. After your loop, you'd call SetCursor again, using that returned cursor.

I vaguely remember something about the cursor getting reset to the arrow if you "pump the message queue," so you might need to reset it after doing that.
