Setting cursor while there is long time consuming.

Hello.

On AX 2009,

I run a method that takes too long time (on form).

I want to set an hourglass cursor on form.

What is the correct way doing that?

I did on code:

void myfunction() {

...

#WINAPI

....

WinApi::setCursor(#IDC_WAIT);

element.lockWindowUpdate(true);

// doing long time consuming ...

element.lockWindowUpdate(false);

}

Thanks :)

Use startLengthyOperation() and endLengthyOperation() methods. A progress bar is even better, if applicable.

Hello,

here you have a link (with Code Examples) from from MSDN for how to implement a hourglass pointer, a progress indicator or even more than one progress indicator:

msdn.microsoft.com/.../aa841990%28v=ax.50%29.aspx

Hope this helps
