Sub BeginWaitCursor()

Member of CorelScriptTools

The BeginWaitCursor method sets the mouse pointer to Busy. The Busy pointer usually appears as an hour-glass on most systems. This command is useful for scripts that perform long operations. By setting the pointer to Busy, the user is alerted that the script is still executing.

  • It is good programming practice to use an EndWaitCursor statement with every BeginWaitCursor statement.

In the following code example, the pointer is set to Busy, script execution is paused for 30 seconds, and then the pointer reverts to its normal state:

BEGINWAITCURSOR 
WAIT FOR 30 
ENDWAITCURSOR
