Re: using Gdk::Cursor

[Bob Caryl <bob fis-cal com>]

According to what I read, Gdk::Window::set_cursor has an overloaded 
version that takes no parameters.  This overloaded function sets the 
Gdk::Cursor for the calling window to the cursor of that Gdk::Window's 
parent.  Like you, I could find no "get_cursor" function.  So, the only 
thing I can come up with is to change the cursor to GDK_WATCH for the 
Gdk::Window associated with your top level Gtk::Window when you begin 
your processing, and then change it back to GDK_ARROW when your 
processing finishes.
