Hi all,
I have one form in which I need to change cursor style to busy while doing some process and after completing that process cursor should get to default.I have done changing cursor style but during its busy state it is allowing me to change values or click buttons.It should not allow user to change anything or click any button.
Please help me in this.


Thank You.

Just a theory; didn't test it.

How do you start that "processing" and where does it take place? For example: "start it by pushing a button which calls a stored procedure that does something". If that's so, perhaps you could change all items' and buttons' properties to "disabled" just before starting the process; that might be an easy part.

But, how will you know that the processing is finished? Setting some table column to a certain value and periodically checking it (using a form timer)? Once you find it is done, "enable" all items you previously disabled.
