In your base form class add a new method called mouseWorking.

Put the following code in it:

LPARAMETERS llWaitState

IF pcount() > 0
	IF llWaitState
	** .T., change to hourglass
		THIS.MOUSEPOINTER = 11
		THIS.SETALL('mousepointer',11)
	ELSE
	** .F., change to normal pointer
		THIS.MOUSEPOINTER = 0
		THIS.SETALL('mousepointer',0)
	ENDIF
ENDIF

Now when you want a hourglass just call

thisform.mouseWorking(.T.)
** Do some process
thisform.mouseWorking(.f.)
