pda cursors and alerts

Is there any possibility to change the cursor or display alerts while the program is loading files or data for Labview PDA Module?

I don't want to use the dialogbox, because I want something where the user cannot click, it's some kind of alert so he can not tap any other button on the application while the data is loading...

Hi,

Why don't you use the dialogbox?? You can customize it so that the user cannot click on it or stop it.
You can use a splashscreen while the files are loading and than start you application. The user has no control over the mainVI. Use VI server to start-up the splashscreen, like in the link below:

If this is not what you want than why don't you just disable all controls on the front panel while the File is loading. With the disable property node you can disable/enable them. That's the basic idea right? Nobody can interact with the UI when the File is loading. A nice library to do this is the one you can find via the link below:
