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. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Russell Davoli (davoli@natinst.com) National Instruments
