CorelScriptTools.BeginWaitCursor method
Begin Wait Cursor
Syntax:
Sub BeginWaitCursor()
Remarks:
The BeginWaitCursor method sets the mouse pointer to Busy. On most computers, the Busy pointer appears as an hourglass. 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 CorelScriptTools.EndWaitCursor statement with every BeginWaitCursor statement.
Examples:
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
