Hi Tom

Not heard of a "loading bar" before, can you point me in the direction where I 
can read more.

I have considered maybe displaying a dialog would some message i.e. "please 
wait", maybe even with an embedded ProgressBar if such a thing is available. I 
have seen some mention of a Uno Toolkit but have not pursued it yet.

Hi :)
I think the devs list might be a better place to ask but it was good to try 
here first.  Would a loading bar be easier?

Hi All

I've built a database, using Base, which amongst other things produces a 
mailing list. On my 10 year old DeskTop it can take several minutes to produce 
the list.

I want to show some activity to the users, so the mouse cursor morphing into 
an HourGlass would suit me fine. 

I've got this to work as long as I don't move the mouse. The code is -


oFrame = StarDesktop.CurrentFrame
oWindow = oFrame.getContainerWindow()

oPointer = createUnoService("com.sun.star.awt.Pointer")
oPointer.SetType(com.sun.star.awt.SystemPointer.WAIT)
oWindow.setPointer(oPointer)


However, If I move the mouse the cursor reverts back to the appropriate style 
for the control which it is over. 

From several discussions there seems to be an indication that I need to 
disable the mousemotionlisteners. In going any further I seem to have hit a 
brick wall. 

Can anyone advise what I should do to keep the cursor displaying the hourglass 
during the duration of a task irrespective as the whether the mouse moves or 
not.


Thanks
