Hour Glass won't go away!
-
Hi, I am creating a dialog based application in MFC, and I am having a weird problem with one of the CWnd derived objects on my dialog. Basically when starting the application, if it starts up such that the mouse pointer is over one particular dialog (which I created...) the hourglass doesn't go away until I move the mouse off that part of the dialog. As soon as I move it off the dialog it goes away. If it starts up such that the mouse over another part of the dialog it goes away just fine. However, it's kind of annoying (and unprofessional) because that part of the dialog that causes the mouse the hourglass to hang is quite large. Strange! Is there any way to programatically tell the hour glass to go away? Thanks - @LRG

Ok, Let me answer my own question - I just found that if I put EndWaitCursor() in the OnInitDialog memeber after creating the problem CWnd it works. Wondering, is this a bit of a kluge? Thanks - @LRG

Sounds like it.

How many dialogs are we talking about here? The first sentence in this post implies one dialog with several controls on it. Is there more to it than that?

Yes, you're right - one dialog with several controls. One particular control is causing the problem. @LRG

And what type of control would that be?

Wow you ask the tough questions... :) It's a custom (CWnd derived) class I found on this web site for doing OpenGL in an MFC Window. It's called a COpenGLControl. Not trying to get folks to debug some random code I found on the interwebs, so that's why I was speaking in generalities. :) Thanks - @LRG

Do you have an entry in your dialog's
DoDataExchange()method for theCOpenGLControlcontrol? If so, can you temporarily comment it out and note the result."Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a car that you are still paying for, in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes and the car and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it." - Ellen Goodman

Uh, hrrmmm, no I don't have an entry in DDX for that. I guess I thought I didn't need one, because it's a graphics control (running an openGL instance) not a regular control exchanging values from input. The only input it takes is mouse clicks to orient the view. I guess I'll put one in (for DDX_CUSTOM(), eh?) and see what happens. Thanks - @LRG
