Alister, I do not understand how the applicatin 'knows' to switch the cursor back to normal. Is the scope of the Hourglass cursor restricted to the Button1Click event?

[mkhjensen]

I tried to use it in a Delphi 12 Multi device application and it only works in Windows.

The destructor should check to see if CS is assigned, or you will get an access violation if the platform does not support cursor services.

Nice video Alister but you should never ever say that warning is ok. Instead you should also show how to remove it from the code :)
