Description

Use the watch constant to set the cursor to a wristwatch shape, suitable for telling the user to wait for completion of a lengthy operation.

The following two statements are equivalent:

set the cursor to watch
set the cursor to 14

However, the first is easier to read and understand in LiveCode.

Important: If you use the watch cursor or other standard cursors in your application, you must include it when you create your standalone. Make sure the "Cursors" option in the Inclusions section of the General screen of the Standalone Application Settings window is checked.
