ORACLE Form mouse shape CURSOR_STYLE

In Oracle Forms Builder, there is often a situation of waiting for the background to call pck or wait for the request to run.

In the process of waiting, in order to show the current state more amicably and prevent the user from misoperation, the way of changing the shape of the mouse is often used.

The CURSOR_STYLE property of the oracle form built-in function SET_APPLICATION_PROPERTY can do this.

SET_APPLICATION_PROPERTY (CURSOR_STYLE, 'BUSY');-- busy status SET_APPLICATION_PROPERTY (CURSOR_STYLE,' DEFAULT');-- normal status
