[comp.windows.x.motif] How do you change cursor fonts from Motif Applications.

mps@sparc14.hri.com (Mark Stockley) (11/06/90)

I am trying to change the cursor font interactively (to a busy cursor).
Does anybody have a Motif example of how to do this. I've tried the
standard X methodology shown in my reference manuals, but it does
not seen to work.

	We have successfully used the following:

#include <X11/cursorfont.h>
	:
	:
set_cursor(widget, XC_watch);	/* set cursor to watch shape */
	:
	:
set_cursor(widget, -1);		/* restore default cursor */

	Hope this helps!
