MSG_GEN_APPLICATION_MARK_BUSY not working over dialog box.



Q. We've got a dialog box that comes up while we read info
   (slowly) from the network. It's sys_modal. We want to
   set the busy cursor. We send MSG_GEN_APPLICATION_MARK_BUSY,
   but the cursor is only busy when it's over the primary - if
   we move it over the dialog it is NOT busy. What am I doing
   wrong?

A. By default modal/sysmodal dialogs override input restrictions.
   You can change this by adding the attribute
   ATTR_GEN_INTERACTION_ABIDE_BY_INPUT_RESTRICTIONS to the dialog.
