Hourglass cursor while waiting for long report to build a preview?
There must be a simple solution to providing the user with a 'please wait' indication, given how long some reports will take to build before a preview is available.
How is it done?
In delphi, if I write
Are there events I can use that detect the start of the report loading its data and the end of the last page being built so I can show an hourglass to the user during the creation of a long report? And if so, how do you refer to the screen cursor inside the code page of the report?
I did ask this a long time ago but never had any replies.
(I don't want to modify the FDefaultCursor value in the source code of frxPreview.pas as some of my reports manipulate that for other reasons. Besides, I only want the hourglass up to the point when the last page has been built )
