I'm making a program and there are graphics in it. While the graphics are being drawn I want the mousepointer to appear as the hourglass and change back again.

Well there are several ways you can do this the easiest of which is to use the screen properties. I believe the mousepointer which is the hourgrlass is number 11. So to make the mousepointer into an hourglass you would use the following code:
code:
Screen.mousepointer = 11
this will change the mousepointer to an hour glass
Also to change back to the regular mouse pointer you would use the code:
code:
Screen.mousepointer = 0


Here's an example program to show you what this does. (put 2 command buttons on your form)

code:
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Screen.mousepointer = 11
End Sub

Private Sub Command2_Click()
Screen.mousepointer = 0
End Sub
