Hi Chris

You could add a custom method to your form class or formset class, I'll call it waitcursor. In the new method of your form class, put something like this:

LPARAMETERS llwait

IF llwait
THIS.mousepointer = 11
THIS.SETALL('mousepointer',11)
ELSE
THIS.mousepointer = 0
THIS.SETALL('mousepointer',0)
ENDIF

Then pass this method a .t. or a .f. from your code to set the mousepointer to the hourglass, or to turn it off

HTH

>I have an app that copies a dbf across a dial up connection. The curser returns to a pointer long before the app has finshed, confusing the user. How to I control the curser (ie keep it as an hourglass?)
