Cursor control ??

[NewsArchive]

When I use the "Check In Use folder tree" function there is a long
pause, which has the potential to confuse the operator. Is there some
way I can at least change the cursor to Wait??

Thanks

I would suggest to display a "Wait..." dialog (User Interface section) to
tell the user what is going on.

Ahh, yeah, that's good. Is there a way to get something in the title bar???

Thank you!

(The '...separate thread' checkbox is not in the current help...)

No, the "Wait..." dialog does not have a title bar.

Yes, you are right. It seems to me we changed it last year (so the dialog
can be moved). But the tile bar can't be set.

<G> I'll check if we can add an option to SB7 so we can set the title bar.

Given that an empty title bar is odd, perhaps only have it when a caption is
given? (A bit like Clarion does it<G>).
