Description

  

A static property WaitStateManager has been added to the class  

 Consultingwerk.Framework.FrameworkSettings   

This property gets and sets the reference to the current active WaitStateManager. This allows application developers to define virtually any method of indicating the wait state to the user. Right now the application (STATIC constructor of the FrameworkSettings class) initiates a new instance of the NotifyIconWaitStateManager. This wait state manager implementation uses the hour glass mouse pointer (rotating donut in Windows Vista and Windows 7) and a notify icon (located close to the time and date display in the system tray). When the application is idle an OE10 icon is displayed. During database or appserver access the OE10 icon is overlayer by an database symbol.  

 

Fixes

  

To change the active wait state manager, simply set the property  

 Consultingwerk.Framework.FarmeworkSettings:WaitStateManager   

to another object implementing the IWaitStateManager interface.  

The class Consultingwerk/Framework/WaitStateManager will just display the hour class mouse cursor. To activate this wait state manager, add  

Consultingwerk.Framework.FarmeworkSettings:WaitStateManager = NEW Consultingwerk/Framework/WaitStateManager () .

  

to your application startup code.
