DoCmd.HourGlass not working

I've got a form with a treeview object. When I double click on a
particular node in the treeview I open a second form. The second form
takes awhile to populate so I want to display an hourglass cursor. I
can't get the hourglass to display. What's odd is that it works from a
button click event but not the treeview double click event.


This code doesn't work:

Private Sub TreeView1_DblClick()
Call DoCmd.Hourglass(True)
DoCmd.OpenForm "SecondForm"
End Sub

This code works:

Private Sub Button_Click()
Call DoCmd.Hourglass(True)
DoCmd.OpenForm "SecondForm"
End Sub

The only difference is the event. What is going on?
 
Probably that you aren't using the Node Click event.

BTW, a simple

DoCmd.Hourglass True

DoCmd.Hourglass False

turns it on and off
 
Probably that you aren't using the Node Click event.
Click to expand...

That ended up being my workaround. But why doesn't it work in the
double click event? Is that a bug?

Not a bug, that's the way a TreeView works
