... no problems, but when updating my clients, some on Windows 7 were no longer able to run the program. Clicking on the shortcut, or .exe, gave an hourglass for a few seconds, and then nothing.

I would like to change standard hourglass to another modern animation?

You can also either use the hourglass cursor for short waits (up to about 5 seconds) or a progress bar for longer waits when you can calculate the total wait time or an animation ...

Antonio, I have searched the FWH PRG source for an oocurance of the hourglass cursor (cursorWait()) and I cannot find one. Is this cursor either created using other syntax or possibly in the C source? If so, do you have any idea where? I am trying to find ...
