Background activity cursor in Swing

Question

hi all, how can I set the Cursor on a Component to a "background activity" cursor. Like the one in Windows with the arrow and the small hourglass.

All I find ist the Cursor.WAIT_CURSOR, which is only an hour glass.

I found the file which contains the cursor: appstart.ani in C:\WINDOWS\Cursors can I use that somehow?

Answer 1

As this is an animated cursor, it's not trivial to display. But the good news is that there is a tutorial for it: Introduce Animated Cursors to Java GUIs
