Is there anyway to show the hourglass (busy) cursor on the entire
monitor screen, not just when the cursor is within the current
program's window?
Thanks

No. The most you can do is
System.Windows. Forms.Cursor.Cu rrent =
System.Windows. Forms.Cursors.W aitCursor
This makes sense, because in a multitasking OS, your app being busy
does not stop other apps working.

Larry,
It seems to make sense, however, under vb6 (which worked with
multitasking Windows also), the object Sceen had a cursor property you
could set, and it applied to the entire screen. The hourglass didn't
affect other programs, it just told you one of them was busy.

Yes...
and it applied to the entire screen.
Sadly my memory fails to remind me definitively whether it ever did
this; however, certainly under Windows XP, it doesn't.

This is a nitpick that I'd like to fix if possible...
I have a form that submits to a page that does some intense DB queries,
so the page takes about 30-45 seconds to load. Using Win2K, IE6, when
the submit button is clicked, it looks like nothing is happening (unless
you read the status bar and see the page opening text). Yet Netscape
shows a little hourglass, indicating that processing is occurring. Is
there a simple way to...

This should be very simple but I can't figure it out or find ANYTHING posted
about how to change your cursor to an hourglass. I have a ASP.NET web form
using VB.NET code behind. When I click on a button I want the cursor to
change to an hourglass and then change back to the normal cursor afterwards.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

We have an internal application where one button the user clicks executes a
*LONG* stored procedure, and they want me to have the IE 6.0 window set the
mouse cursor to an hourglass.
In a "Forms Application", I know how to do this, but I'm not sure how to do
it (or even if it is possible) in a web app. I'm thinking a piece of
JavaScript in the onclick event of the button just before the submit occurs,
but I can't see how to do it.

I know this works on all objects except drop down boxes.

Is it possible to make a cursor into an hourglass over a drop down?

uses a mouse to sense the relative position of a machine.
The hardware is built...just needs to be programmed.
Stop snickering!!! I didn't do it...I just gotta fix it.
I need to make some calculations on the measurements
and VB6 is my language.
Yes, the system mouse will corrupt the measurement,
but it's an auditing function and that's acceptable.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
