How to change cursor

lnovy

In FR2 I used screen.cursor=-17 and it worked.
In FR3 it doesn't work, why ?
Thanks.

Where do you set the cursor and how it should work (in preview window?)

I use Query in my report where I have special SELECT statements.
So I have first window in my report where I ask user to set parameters, then when user clicks on OK I open my Query with parameters and try to preview report. But it takes a while, so I need SQLWait cursor in this time.

FR does not change the Screen.Cursor property, only controls' Cursor property. I don't know why Screen.Cursor is changed.

Well but in FR 2 it worked. I could use
screen.cursor:=-17;
query.close;
query.sql.clear;
query.sql.add('...');
query.open;
screen.cursor:=0;

than user knew that program works (when select statement need for example 8 seconds).
In FR3 this doesn't work.
