WIDGET_CONTROL, /HOURGLASS ? [message #13242]

IDL folks,

I recently discovered the ability IDL 5.1 has to change the cursor to an
hourglass, which is particularly helpful during time consuming processes
like reading or writing large files. So I decided to use the line:
WIDGET_CONTROL, /HOURGLASS
in a procedure before reading in potentionally huge input files. The
hourglass cursor appeared fine, but then when I launched a widget from
the procedure after the input file had been read, the hourglass cursor
didn't change back to normal, so I wasn't able to modify the widget
entries at all. Is there some sort of clear command I need?

Thanks in advance for any help!
