Perhaps I should have called this "cursor problem." On further
investigation, I disabled the command button while the page is being
retrieved, and this works even though the cursor change does not. So now
I've got the following code:
class Application(Tkinter.Frame):
def __init__(self):
self.b = Button(self, text="Retrieve Page",
command=self.my_slow_method)
self.b.pack()
def my_slow_method(self):
self['cursor'] = 'watch'
self.b['state'] = DISABLED
self.update_idletasks()
retrieve_page_from_wiki() # placeholder function
self['cursor'] = '' # reset to default
self.b['state'] = NORMAL
While the page is being retrieved from the server, the button is disabled,
but the cursor remains normal. Is this a Windows problem, or is there
something I can do within Tkinter to get the
cursor to behave as desired?
