Sorry, typo in first sentence: "You probably shouldn't do that..."

You probably should do that because the user should be able to access other apps besides yours while they're wait (that's one of Mac OS X's big features.. pre-emptive multi-tasking). Try displaying a modal sheet (perhaps displaying a progress-bar) to prevent the user from doing anything in your app while the task is completing. Here's a good tutorial on using sheets:

Hope that helps :)

Hi,

I'm developing an application using Cocoa/Objective-C. During some opeartion I
need to change the cursor to "wait(busy) cursor" so that the user cannot do
any other operation that time. The system is not changing the cursor
automatically to a wait cursor. Can I do it explicitly by writing some code?
If that is not possible, then what is the way out to restrict the user to do
any other operation that time.

Thanks,

Shyam
