Hourglass_Start

(SWI &406C3)

Entry
R0	Start delay, in centiseconds

Exit
-	All registers preserved

Use

~~This~~ The purpose of this call is to enable the display of the hourglass mouse pointer, with a specified delay.

Notes

This SWI is functionally equivalent to Hourglass_On, except that it allows the caller to specify the delay to use before the hourglass should be made visible. See Hourglass_On for more details on controlling the hourglass.

A delay of 0 is (effectively) treated as an infinite startup delay, locking the hourglass off until Hourglass_Off is called the correct number of times to ‘disable’ it again.
