The WaitCursorEventQueue technique does not appear to work under 1.3. A
SetCursor on the frame does not change the cursor for most of the frame's
guts (is everyone else seeing this??). Adding glasspane manipulation gets
the cursor to show but adds UI manipulation outside the event thread. I like
the idea and think it's useful but don't readily see a safe way to make the
WaitCursorEventQueue approach work. Does anybody else?
Further, does anybody see a convenient way to get an application wide busy
cursor under 1.3? For the busy-cursor to show everywhere, the glasspane
needs to be used on every non-modal window. I don't believe there is an easy
way to query all windows either (application frame doesn't hold it's dialogs
for example) so a WindowMgr is also needed to collect the application
windows.
Any thoughts on an effective busy-cursor approach are welcome...
