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
