Cocoa seems to automatically display the spinning color-wheel "busy cursor"
after a few seconds whenever the processing of an event doesn't complete
quickly. This is nice, but there are some situations where I know the event
processing will take a bit of time and I'd like to force the busy cursor to
display immediately upon initiation of the event processing (i.e. at the
beginning of the action method of a control's target). Is there an API,
public or private, to force the immediately display of the busy cursor? I
haven't found one.
(I know there are better ways of handling the event processing with worker
threads, etc. to keep the GUI responsive but I'm currently dealing with some
legacy code where that simply isn't a short-term option.)
Thanks,
-John DeNisi
