<div>Hello,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I am reporting back after some experimenting with building a DLL based on the SDL library. I have successfully created a very simple DLL that accepts 5 int values (color, x,y,w,h) and uses the SDL_RectFill function to draw directly to the screen. Then I use ctypes to import the DLL into pythonCE and access its functions from there. This may seem very basic, but it allows me to draw a rectangle of any size or colour to the screen, and I can do it using very straightforward python script. The DLL lives in the main Windows folder, and is automatically recognised by pythonCE when it starts.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>My question is about the hourglass which appears on the screen while my script is running (in WM5 it's actually not an hourglass, but a kind of circular dial with windows colours). Is there any way I can prevent this from appearing while my python script runs?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>My next plan was to try to use ppygui to make some buttons for user input.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Any thoughts or comments are very welcome.</div>
<div> </div>
