CWaitCursor::Restore
To restore the wait cursor, call this function after performing an operation, such as displaying a message box or dialog box, which might change the wait cursor to another cursor.
void Restore( );
Remarks
It is OK to call Restore even when the wait cursor is currently displayed.
If you need to restore the wait cursor while in a function other than the one in which the CWaitCursor object is declared, you can call CCmdTarget::RestoreWaitCursor.
Example
// This example illustrates performing an operation
// which changes the wait cursor. You should call
// CWaitCursor::Restore to restore the wait
// cursor after an operation which changes the cursor.
void AnotherLengthyFunction( )
{
CWaitCursor wait; // display wait cursor
// do some lengthy processing
Sleep(1000);
// The dialog box will normally change the cursor to
// the standard arrow cursor.
CFileDialog dlg(TRUE);
dlg.DoModal();
// It is necessary to call Restore here in order
// to change the cursor back to the wait cursor.
wait.Restore();
// do some more lengthy processing
Sleep(1000);
// destructor automatically removes the wait cursor
}
// If the wait cursor is changed by a function called by
// the function which created the wait cursor, you
// can call CCmdTarget::RestoreWaitCursor to restore
// the wait cursor.
void CalledFunction()
{
CFileDialog dlg(TRUE);
dlg.DoModal();
// Since CWinApp is derived from CCmdTarget, we can use a
// pointer to our application object to make the call to
// CCmdTarget::RestoreWaitCursor.
AfxGetApp()->RestoreWaitCursor();
// Yet more lengthy processing...
Sleep(1000);
