VB6: Why does the mouse remain "busy"?
We're using
Visual Basic 6. We've written a couple of applications. One of
them I put a splash screen on (a splash form, which I got out of the
Templates directory, with appropriate modifications, etc). The other
application didn't have a splash form, but now we would like to add one,
which I've done.
The problem is that when the main form comes up (which is an MDI parent
form), it comes up changing the MousePointer property value to vbHourglass.
I've added code to the splash form to stay around until it "sees" the MDI
come up. Then the user can click upon it (the splash form) and it will go
away. The problem is that the mouse pointer is still an hour glass even
when its over the splash form?! I don't understand why the mouse pointer
should be an hourglass over the splash form, when I only set it to be an
hourglass over the MDI?
Bottom line: what's going on here? And how do I make the mouse pointer
available on the splash form, when the user puts the mouse over the splash
form?
