Quasi modal application window

[Kent Schumacher <kent structural-wood com>]

Hi,

I've got an application that goes off for a while and does some processing - while this is happening
I would like the mouse pointer to indicate that the app is busy anytime the cursor is positioned
over the applications window.

I would also like to have a single 'stop' button that is active - the pointer should turn back to an 'active'
pointer when positioned over this button.  All of the rest of the gui for the applications window should not
respond to mouse clicks

Any thoughts on how to achieve this behavior?

(Note that I had originally popped up a seperate modal window that had a cancel button on it, but the
 users of the program wanted their busy indicator to be more netscape'ish, as described above)

Thanks,
Kent
