Why trying to see if the cursor is a hour-glass? I think it would be better and simpler to set a global variable or a member in your MainFrame class that would indicate that currently there is a time-consuming file operation in progress.<br />
<br />
You'd clear that variable (set it to false, for instance) once the operation is done.<br />
<br />
Then, override the OnUpdate member of your view class and check for the variable. If it is true (fileOpInProgress), don't do anything.<br />
<br />
Hope this helps.<br />

I use BeginWaitCursor() and EndWaitCursor() to set the cursor as an hourglass when I am opening many files in my application. Now I want to disable the mouse input of all the views when I am opening files. How can I do that? Can I get the information of the cursor to decide whether the mouse input is valid, that is, if the cursor is an hourglass, the view cannot be updated and cannot receive any mouse message? Or is there a better way to do it? Thank you!!! :1

How to disable the mouse input in CView?

Kernel and system programming is the process of creating the software necessary for a computer or device to function and operate other programs. Some operating systems (such as Microsoft Windows) are proprietary, but others, such as the various Linux distributions, are open source.
