I have got a very tricky session that uses timer.start() / timer.stop(). Therefore the mouse cursor flickers during each choice.interrupt; I guess that choice.interrupt/before.choice sets the hourglass cursor and choice.interrupt/after.choice restores the original mouse cursor. I would like to stop that flickering.
Any ideas are welcome.

My idea was to overload change.object() so that I could do some decisions and maybe to call the original function (or not, if I'm inside choice.interrupt ...).
Has ynybody done anything like that before?

Hi,

You can change the cursor back in that session. Check the DEV: Extend Baan code without sources (http://www.baanboard.com/baanboard/showthread.php?t=559) thread.

I hope it helps,

You can change the cursor back in that session.

I tested your tip the following way (to see if I can see any changes): In choice.interrupt/before.choice and choice.interrupt/on.choice I set the mouse cursor to a different one (DSCNMAGNIFY). The result is: flickers like hell.

Then I tried the default cursor (DSCNDEFAULT), but the flickering is still there.

Check the DEV: Extend Baan code without sources thread.

I checked it (already knew about that). But my problem is somewhat different to extending 4gl events. I strongly believe that my problem needs something like "extend baan 3gl dll code" ...

Okay, here is my solution to stop the flickering:

form.1:
init.form:
if srv.type(srv_data) = DSBW then
change.object(current.mwindow(), DsNsuperiorPointerCursor, DSCARROW)
| this looks like the DSCDEFAULT, but it stops flickering ...
endif


But my initial question continues. I would like to overload a function that comes from a DLL. Any ideas for that?
