We are trying to set the mouse cursor to the wait cursor whenever we open
a dialog box. We have method that takes in a java.awt.Component and
grabs all of its contained Components and sets the cursor on it.
This works with limited success. If there is a List in the main panel
and you move the cursor off the dialog box and over the list beneath, the
cursor shows up in the busy form - every other time. It's very consistent.
One time it will be the little watch; next time, it's an arrow. Over
any other component, the mouse never changes. Is this a bug or are
we doing it wrong?
Even better, is there a better, more "correct" way to do this?
I'm using an old method written before I came to the company so I'm not
terribly familiar with the workings of mouse cursors in Java. A coworker
just hollered something about setting the cursor on a TextField after construction
so that it will inherit any changes it to its parent's mouse cursor but
I haven't had a chance to look at it yet. Does anyone have any idea?
Thanks.
