Hourglass Cursor - how do I

rbuser

When designing a reprot and the user is selecting tables, links, sort orders
etc. wh]ith large tables, and across a network, it can take some time
before the next process can be selected.

The cursor during this time shows still as the default pointer.

Is there some way I can set the cursor to be hourglass when busy.

(a) I would prefer not to have to modify your source as it would be a pain
to upgrade each time

(b) If modifcation of source is the only answer - could you provide a few
pointers as to where to start.

Thanks in advance

There are some SQL validation routines in daSQL.pas. Do a search in the unit
for Valid and Validate.

How do I install the changes????

I tried including/copying the file to my local project (under a different
name) but the daSQL.pas would not compile due to differing types.

You'll have to recompile using the \RBuilder\Source directory instead of
RBuilder\Lib. You won't be able to recompile if you make changes to the
interface section if you are using RAP.

In Delphi, Tools | Environment Options | Library | Library Path, is the
paths where Delphi will find the RB files. By changing the entry for
RBuilder\Lib to RBuilder\Source, you will be able to modify the RBuilder
source and Delphi will now be able to rebuild with your changes.
