NX: Mouse cursor

[Flavio Nobili]

Hello all,
In the client GUI I've made the mouse cursor, when trying to connect to the database, show a waiting cursor so that the user can know that the application is trying to connect. For that, I've used the following code:

setCursor(Cursor.getPredefinedCursor(Cursor.WAIT_CURSOR));

But, it hasn't been working, I mean, the cursor is changed, but if the mouse is moved it returns to the default cursor. What is wrong?
Regards,

Hi Fl�vio,

For which Component object is the setCursor being called? Is it possible that the cursor is being changed for a small Component (small in the sense that it does not encompass the entire window), and when the cursor is moved off of that small Component, then it reverts back to the old cursor. If you think this is the problem maybe you can change the cursor for the top-level Component (maybe the JFrame?).

Hi George,
I think it's not the problem , I've set the cursor for the main frame.
This is the whole method:

    void setWaitingMode(boolean wait) {
        if(wait) {
            //Disables
            this.setEnabled(false);
            this.setCursor(Cursor.getPredefinedCursor(Cursor.WAIT_CURSOR));
        } else {
            //Enables
            this.setEnabled(true);
            this.setCursor(Cursor.getPredefinedCursor(Cursor.DEFAULT_CURSOR));
        }
    }

Regards,
Fl�vio.
