I have been requested to add the 'hourglass' cursor to a project I worked on in the past. However, I am running into some strange problems getting this to work correctly.
I have seen the code examples given in this forum, but they do not appear to work for me. I believe this is because of the way the program was written - every function in it is called in linear fashion as needed from the on create event. All processing, file handling, and the final call to the program that uses the results of this one, are either done in or called from the on create segment.
Attempting to put the hourglass cursor code in there, even with 'application.processmesages' around it, did nothing. Is there any way to force the cursor to appear as an hourglass with this setup, or do I need to look for another way to show that something is being done?
