not stops Wait Cursor - why?

vgrigor

In that code Wait cursor not stops appearing, even EndWaitCursor() callled, (until I move mouse) CFromview::Method() { BeginWaitCursor(); WORK(); EndWaitCursor(); this->Invalidate(); this->UpdateWindow(); } Why ? how to correct

David Crow

Is CFromview::Method() called frequently?

Only once. Problem probable happen when it finished until, butoon is relalized. ::SetCursor(AfxGetApp()->LoadStandardCursor (IDC_ARROW )); can help. Cursor probably not refreshed due to unknown reason, when standard Wait/End sequence is proceed.

If you use MFC, you could use a CWaitCursor object:

CFromview::Method()
{
    {
        CWaitCursor waitCursor;
        WORK();
    }
    RedrawWindow();
}

Works same. In usual method- yes, in this - no any difference in problem.

It sounds like something else is setting the cursor, then. You could also try to catch WM_SETCURSOR, and use a boolean set to true when your application is working: BOOL CMyView::OnSetCursor(CWnd* pWnd, UINT nHitTest, UINT message) { if(m_bMyAppIsWorking){ ::SetCursor(AfxGetApp()->LoadStandardCursor(IDC_WAIT)); return TRUE; } ::SetCursor(AfxGetApp()->LoadStandardCursor(IDC_ARROW)); return CView::OnSetCursor(pWnd, nHitTest, message); }

Please explain what nature of error that was happen? First is need to understand fully, than to solve by try and error.

KaRl

In the example I gave, the processing of WM_SETCURSOR by the view leads to set the cursor either at IDC_WAIT or at IDC_CROSS, whatever another part of your code set the waitCursor. vgrigor wrote: First is need to understand fully, than to solve by try and error IMHO, not always, sometimes it doesn't worth the time to learn it.

Ensure that in your WORK() method nothing is trying to steal the capture of the mouse. Check for SetCapture() API calls.

Of course, Worth - when it is possible. It is usually (or often ) possible - to understand something, than only try and error. that is often proposed.
