sohfeyr Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 I'm trying to set the windows cursor to an hourglass during a long I/O operation. Thing is, I can't get the cursor to change. $val = DllCall("user32.dll","long","LoadCursor","long",0,"long",32514) $err = @error ConsoleWrite("Error: " & $err & @cr) ConsoleWrite("Value: " & $val & @cr) ConsoleWrite(@cr) $val = DllCall("user32.dll","long","SetCursor","long",32514) $err = @error ConsoleWrite("Error: " & $err & @cr) ConsoleWrite("Value: " & $val & @cr) This results in: Error: 0 Value: Error: 0 Value: - and the cursor doesn't change at all! Any ideas? Other approaches?
