OnSetCursor - works in 1 dlg but in other doesn't!

YaronNir

Hi all, i have 2 dialogs, dlg1 & dlg2 in both of them i use the same code:

BOOL CDlg1::OnSetCursor(CWnd* pWnd, UINT nHitTest, UINT message)
{
if (!m_bCondition)
{
::SetCursor(::LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_WAIT));
return TRUE;

return CDialog::OnSetCursor(pWnd,nHitTest,message);

}

BOOL CDlg2::OnSetCursor(CWnd* pWnd, UINT nHitTest, UINT message)
{
if (!m_bCondition)
{
::SetCursor(::LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_WAIT));
return TRUE;

return CDialog::OnSetCursor(pWnd,nHitTest,message);

}

problem is that i see the hourglass when mouse is over dlg1, but i don't see the hourglass when mouse is over dlg2???? what am i missing? should i implement an other message? thanks in advanced Yaron

Use CWaitCursor object in OnMouseMove function of both dialog.

the method OnSetCursor is being called on both dialogs, but the problem is that i can see the hourglass on dialog1 when mouse is over it, but i see only an arrow (not hourglass) on dialog2 when mouse is over it.... ? Yaron
