Delphi Buttons – Create an hour glass impression while waiting

Got a chance to receive source code from a software vendor and the button on this program made me smile.

Haven’t though of it that way. But i think it works.

procedure TSFTPClientFrame.btConnectSSHClick(Sender: TObject);
var
  OldCursor: TCursor;
begin
  OldCursor := Screen.Cursor;
  try
    Screen.Cursor := crHourGlass;
    ScSSHClient.Connect;
  finally
    Screen.Cursor := OldCursor;
  end;
end;

The hour glass cursor is within the try row. Once it is done, it revert backs the cursor to the original one used. Pretty awesome.

Just wanted to share
