HourGlass (Function)

In french: Sablier

Transforms the mouse cursor into hourglass and vice versa. This allows you to inform the user that a long process is performed by displaying an hourglass. For the duration of the HourGlass display, the window is inactive: the user cannot click in the window.

Example

HourGlass()         // Affichage du sablier
ProcTraitement()  // Traitement long
HourGlass(False)     // Restitution du pointeur initial

Syntax

HourGlass([<Activation>])

<Activation>: Optional constant

Activation or deactivation constant:
False Cancels the hourglass that was enabled last. If this houglass is the only one that is enabled, the mouse cursor takes its initial shape.
falseAllHourglass Cancels 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: wd300obj.dll
