    Wait Cursor

    I have a form with a button and a textbox.
    I have a also a class Cls_Import with a public function Import performing a long task.
    From Import I use RaiseEvent to notify main form to write some task info in the textbox.

    How to show the wait cursor during the long task?

    I did something like this:
    Code:
    Private Sub cmdImport_Click()
    ' ...
       If oImp Is Nothing Then
           Set oImp = New Cls_Import
       End If
       Me.MousePointer = vbHourglass
       bRet = oImp.Import() 'a long task here
       Me.MousePointer = vbDefault
    '...
    End Sub
    But doesn't work.
    What must be done?
