MousePointer - Visual Basic 4 / 5 / 6

Grant from GD Technologies

I am having trouble getting the MousePointer method working.
I am using
frmMain.MousePointer = vbHourglass
..
..
..
..
..frmMain.MousePointer = vbNormal

The pointer does not change. If I put a msgbox before the call it works
fine. Is my code going to fast? Does windows need to be Paused?

Help Please

Yes, changing the mouse pointer is a very low priority task. Issue several
DoEvents right after changing it, or issue a few (sparingly) in your code.

Either, and sometimes both are needed. Try it and see....
