Hi. I am currently developing some application which uses a graphical interface and communicates via GPIB with some device. When the program starts, I'd like to establish the connection to the device and reset it. Unfortunately this takes a few seconds. During this time, I'd like to disable the interface to the user. Usually when I press a button, I can tell the appropriate event to "hang" the application until the event was completed. How would I do this, when the application starts?
What about using the Set Busy function on the cursor palette? There's an input to disable mouse clicks and the hourglass cursor is pretty universally accepted.
