Stored procedures
Transforms the mouse cursor into hourglass (and conversely). This allows you to inform the user that a long process is performed by displaying an hourglass. The window is inactive as long as the hourglass is displayed: the user cannot click in the window.
Example
HourGlass()         // Display the hourglass
ProcProcess()  // Long process
HourGlass(False)     // Restore the initial pointer
Syntax
HourGlass([<Activation>])
<Activation>: Optional constant
Activation or deactivation constant:
FalseCancels the hourglass that was enabled last. If this houglass is the only one that is enabled, the mouse cursor takes its initial shape.
falseAllHourglassCancels all current hourglasses to restore the initial shape of mouse cursor.
True
(Default value)
Enables the hourglass.
Remarks

Miscellaneous

  • To restore the cursor to its initial status:
    • call HourGlass(False) as many times as HourGlass(True) was run.
    • use the falseAllHourglass constant.
  • When a WLanguage process ends, the cursor is automatically restored to its standard shape.
Component: wd290obj.dll
Minimum version required
