Hi,

How do i display a "wait" cursor while a process is running? I have tried using 

    ME.mouse = Mouse.Wait

without much luck.

Heres a code snippet:
------------------------
  ME.mouse = Mouse.Wait
  Application.Busy = 1

  command = "sha512sum " & filePath & "|awk '{print $1}' "
  SHELL command TO checksum

  checksum = Left(checksum, Len(checksum) - 1) 'strip \n
  txta_checksum.Text = checksum

  Application.busy = 0
  ME.Mouse = Mouse.DEFAULT 
------------------------

I am using Gambas 2.21.

Thanks,
Vikram
