Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

' The example changes the mouse pointer to an hourglass (X) while hearts are
' drawn on a form, and then changes it back to the default mouse pointer at
' the end of the procedure. The MousePointer property is used in conjunction
' with the SCREEN object.
 
' To try this example:
' 1. Choose New Project from the File menu
' 2. Choose New Form from the File menu to create a form
' 3. Press Alt+F4 to return to the programming environment
' 4. Copy the code example below to the form module
' 5. Press F5 to run the example
 
 SUB Form_Click ()
    SCREEN.MousePointer = 11        ' Change pointer to hourglass
    FOR i% = 1 TO 10                ' Draw hearts (ASCII 3)
         FOR f% = 1 TO 32000        ' Create time delay
         NEXT f%
    PRINT CHR$(3)
    NEXT i%
    SCREEN.MousePointer = 0         ' Return pointer to default
 END SUB
