PointerShowWaitstate()

Previous Next

Indicates that a potentially time-consuming action is busy, by displaying an hourglass mouse-pointer. All input from keyboard or mouse is captured.

For each PointerShowWaitstate(ON) method call, make sure that you provide a PointerShowWaitstate(OFF) method call to change the mouse pointer back to normal when the wait state ends, because there is no way for the end user to do this.

Syntax

PointerShowWaitstate(<switch>)

Parameters

Switch

ON starts wait state.

OFF ends wait state.
