RE: Where's my Hourglass?

Put this code just before the code that does the sorting:

frame.setCursor(new Cursor(Cursor.WAIT_CURSOR));

and this code just after it:

SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
    public void run() {
        frame.setCursor(new Cursor(Cursor.DEFAULT_CURSOR));
    }
});

Subject: Where's my Hourglass?



Sorry, another stoopid question....

I've extracted some AS400 data into a TableModel, loaded it into a
TableSorter (stolen from the Java Tutorial) and then into a JTable. So when
I click a column header, the table is sorted based on that column. All works
fine.

However, as the table is quite large, the sort takes a couple of second to
complete, so I'd like to set the Cursor to an Hourglass. Although the JTable
has a setCursor method, setting this to WAIT_CURSOR  doesn't affect the
screen cursor.

Any suggestions for solving this problem?

Thanks in advance,
Chris Price
