Hallo,
Strange things are going on here since I've discovered the art of PM
programming. Listen to this part of my sourcecode:
===
Hi! I'm a dialogbox which has to find an address in a database. Since
this is going to take some time, I've splitted myself in two pieces: The
dialogbox and the searchroutine. The searchroutine, which take appr. 15
seconds, is a second thread so the user can perform his or her duties
while I'm busy. To indicate that I'm busy I've loaded two pointers: The
first is the standard arrow-pointer, the second is the standard
wait-pointer. The important part of my DialogProc is listed here:
case WM_MOUSEMOVE:
WinSetPointer(HWND_DESKTOP,InThread==TRUE? hBusy:hNormal);
return MRFROMSHORT(TRUE);
It works, but only for parts of me! I have an area with two listboxes,
two entryfield and two buttons. These parts have the normal
arrow-pointer, the other parts (without any resources) have the
wait-pointer. I don't believe this...
===
Can somebody help this poor dialogbox?
