Hourglass

[Liottru]

Hi guys, how can I set a hourglass during a process? Thanks

Somthing like this maybe? Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click ' save the old cursor Cursor oldCursor = Me.Cursor; ' change the cursor to the one you want Me.Cursor = Cursors.WaitCursor ' do your work here ' restore the old cursor or else you may never get it back Me.Cursor = oldCursor End Sub

Hi, There is actually no need to save the cursor to memory. Me.Cursor = CType(Cursors.WaitCursor, Cursor) 'Your process starts here 'Your process happens here 'Your process finishes here Me.Cursor = CType(Cursors.Default, Cursor) Have fun, Johan

My advice is free, and you may get what you paid for.

All you have to do is set the Cursor property.

Me.Cursor = Cursors.WaitCursor
' You _might_ have to do this, depending on your code...
Application.DoEvents()
'
' Long running code goes here...
'
Me.Cursor = Cursors.Default
