Thread Hourglass Cursor in Desktop Area.

I've noticed something unusual with a couple of my EWB apps.  When the mouse cursor is moved over the desktop area, ie. the coloured background around the app, the cursor changes to an hourglass.  It doesn't happen with all apps so I'm not sure what's causing it.  

It doesn't have any adverse effect on the app; it's just unusual. Has anyone else seen this happen?

This happens when you have a sub-form open I think.

Thanks, that makes sense.  I'll check it out.

Do you have a modal form displayed ?

Hi Tim,

Not that I'm aware of.  I don't believe I have used ShowModal anywhere, only Show. I'll check through my code just in case though. When switching between forms, I *show* the new form and *hide* the old form.  Could this cause it?

You were right!  There was a showmodal hidden in there.  All good now.

Thanks.

Whew, good - that one sounded like a weird one, if it was a bug. Wink
