Displaying Browse Tool After Pull Down Selection

[Rob Cozens]

Hi All,

An issue I noticed while debugging SDB Dictionary:

I have a pull down menu button from which the user can select a 
specific record type.  I noticed that the cursor, set to browse tool, 
turns to a pointer on mouse down over the button and will not return 
to browse unless & until the cursor leaves the (modeless) stack 
window after mouseUp.

To offset this, I placed "choose browse tool" in the last line of the 
button's mouseUp handler; however, the cursor still refused to switch 
back from pointer.

At this point I added the line, put "I'm choosin' browse!" on the 
line before "choose browse tool", and guess what?...I now have the 
browse tool I want at the expense of an open Message Box I don't 
want.  Comment out the put, and the cursor remains a pointer until it 
leaves & reenters the stack window.

Anyone care to offer a guess as to what is going on or a workaround 
for refreshing the cursor without the put statement?
