    Resolved [RESOLVED] Show an egg timer

    I have a FlexGrid with a load of records in it - the user can click on the column headings to re-sort the grid but it takes a few seconds to execute.

    I am using

    .redraw = False and .redraw = True ....

    How can I get an egg-timer to appear between .redraw = False and True?

    Thanks for any help.

    I don't believe I've ever heard of it referred to as an Egg Timer before.

    Try
    Code:
    Screen.MousePointer = vbHourGlass

    Code:
    Screen.MousePointer = vbHourGlass
DoEvents
.redraw = False
'do your stuff
.redraw = True
Screen.MousePointer = vbDefault
DoEvents
    The most difficult part of developing a program is understanding the problem.
    The second most difficult part is deciding how you're going to solve the problem.
    Actually writing the program (translating your solution into some computer language) is the easiest part.
    Please indent your code and use [HIGHLIGHT="VB"] [/HIGHLIGHT] tags around it to make it easier to read.
