[comp.sys.mac.programmer] Showing busy cursor after MacApp hides the cursor

davoli@natinst.com (Russell Davoli) (08/19/90)

Sorry if this got posted already, I had trouble with postnews earlier...

In my MacApp application I'm using a modeless dialog to get some info from the
user then when he clicks OK the operation is performed.  I thought that since
the operation may take a long time that I'd use the busy cursor stuff to make
the busy cursor appear.  The problem is that when the user is editing, the
cursor is hidden, and when he presses return the cursor is not shown again
until the mouse is moved.  This means that even though I do a BusyActivate
before the operation, the busy cursor is not shown while the operation is
being performed unless the user moves the mouse.  Is there something I'm
missing here?

Thanks.
