One way is an API call. NI has an example of that. If you do a search for "hourglass" in their example program database, you should find it. Another way is in the attached file. This method I got from the LabVIEW version of the TestStand run-time user interface. It's in LabVIEW 6.

This llb won't work when it's really busy. The change must be made in system level.
Any simulation in LabVIE
W will fail. NI's version won't work either. This thread has
been discussed on Info-LabVIEW before. Check the record.

Hi Dennis,
Do you know if it works in LV5.1?
Thanks,

Sergio.
