Re: Howto change a cursor for Gtk::Window ?

["John Hobbs" <john velvetcache org>]

Following up on Paul's message, you usually have to get the parent
Gtk::Windows Gdk::Window.

This is what I use.

Glib::RefPtr <Gdk::Window> ref_window;

ref_window = get_window();
Gdk::Cursor m_Cursor (Gdk::WATCH);
ref_window->set_cursor(m_Cursor);
while (Gtk::Main::events_pending ())
    Gtk::Main::iteration ();

... do busy stuff ...

ref_window->set_cursor ();
while (Gtk::Main::events_pending ())
    Gtk::Main::iteration ();


Don't know if that's something you already had or not :-)
