Usage Notes
- When Oracle Forms is performing a long operation, it displays the "Working"
message and replaces any cursor style specified with the BUSY cursor.
For example, if you set the cursor style to "MOVE" and the operator
executes a large query, the MOVE cursor is replaced by the BUSY cursor while
the query is being executed. After Oracle Forms executes the query, the
BUSY cursor reverts to the MOVE cursor.
Note, however, if you change the cursor style while Oracle Forms
is displaying the BUSY cursor, the cursor style changes immediately rather
than waiting for Oracle Forms to complete the operation before changing
cursor styles.
