This is changing-cursor in view mode; [Up]
Date: Sun 03-Oct-1989 01:03:29 From: Unknown Subject: changing cursor I would like to change the cursor in my application to a wait cursor when I know the program is going to do something time-consuming. I didn't see any method in Application that seemed to set the application's cursor. The spec sheet for Cursor didn't seem to be very helpful; the push and pop methods are interesting, but isn't it a bit backwards to be doing this from the cursor instead of the application? [Yes, I know, everything on the NeXT is backwards :-)] What I want to do is something like: [NXApp pushCursor:NXWait]; // save current cursor, put up wait ... time-consuming code -- [NXApp popCursor]; // restore cursor Even better would be some way to say that whenever any button is pushed the wait cursor should be put up until the button's method finishes, or even better, a way to say "put up a wait cursor any time we're not in the event loop"...
