We would like to change the mouse appearance to a sand-clock whenever a VI is running. We were told that this is possible in LabView Version 7. Which VI-function does the trick?
Select "Application Control"on the functions pallette. Then goto "Cursor" and use the "Set Busy.vi" and "Unset Busy.vi". Or type in the search option "Set Busy.vi".
There is no "Cursor" in "Application Control". The search option does not find anything under "Set busy.vi" nor "Cursor". We only have the base LabView package; maybe that is why. Is there a work-around?
Here is a VI that I got from someplace that I don't remember. It uses a Windows API call to set the mouse cursor. I would modify it to have the set cursor function inside a while loop that continously runs for some duration that you control.
