Hourglass

[Klaus Hoelscher]

Hello,
does somebody know whether there is a method inside LabView to get the
hourglass cursor and function or do I have to call an API?

TX in advance.

Klaus,

You have to call an API. There is code on NI's website. Below is the link

Thanks Jared! That API call is great! FYI: I noticed that the cursor will not go back to normal until the user moves the mouse. An easy fix for that is to call the set of functions again once the task is completed, this time using the value 32512. That will instantly set the cursor to the arrow pointer indicating that the task is completed. When the user moves the mouse the cursor will go back to normal.
