Hi Christof,

Nope !
That worked too !

At those times I only said that we (me and Carlos Alloatti) had another option, since that was the solution that we found after lots of testing.
But recently I faced exactly the same issue in Jim Nelson's PEM Editor4.
There the hourglass appears in his grid as well.

I've tried both aproaches, mine and yours, called in "AfterRowColChange()" and none did fully satisfy Jim.
Acoording to him, (not me <g>), this solution was making the process slower, so he simply gave up, and left the hourglass there as a souvenir. :-D


Naomi,

You may try the following script - here I added a method to my Image base classes, and it calls the following method everytime that the picture property is updated:

*!* ClearWaitCursor()
Local lcPoint As String, lnx As Integer, lny As Integer

Declare Integer GetCursorPos In win32api As ClearWaitCursor_GetCursorPos String  @lpPoint
Declare Integer SetCursorPos In win32api As ClearWaitCursor_SetCursorPos Integer nX, Integer nY

m.lcPoint = 0h0000000000000000
ClearWaitCursor_GetCursorPos(@m.lcPoint)

m.lnx = CToBin(Substr(m.lcPoint, 1, 4), "4rs")
m.lny = CToBin(Substr(m.lcPoint, 5, 4), "4rs")

ClearWaitCursor_SetCursorPos(m.lnx, m.lny)

Return

Here's a working sample from Carlos showing the solution working:
