setpointer(hourglass!) not working properly

[response]

EVENTcommand buton clicked)
setpointer(hourglass!)
OpenSheetWithParm(w_Report,s_param,w_main,7,Layered!)

EVENT: (w_Report open event)
setpointer(hourglass!)
f_get_value()//calling global function
wf_rep_nam()//Window function
dw_1.retrieve()
setpointer(arrow!)

My open event takes more than 2min to open the window,
by that time my old window is visible
with mouse pointer as arrow!,
how is it possible.iam changing the pointer to hourglass! again in open event starting.please give me a solution.

I assume you are capturing your parm somewhere? Otherwise why send it?

I'd suggest you create a postopen type event and perform your function calls and dw retrieve there

I agree with the last comment. I would a postOpen event( or retrieveEvent triggered by Open with post ) ... retrieve all my dws in this place and later I will trigger a postRetrieve event where I can capture the event after fo the postOpen.

Only into the function where retrieve data, I ´d set the setpointers.

Luck
