Hi William,
do something like:
Cursor_t waitcursor = gVirtualX->CreateCursor(kWatch);
gVirtualX->SetCursor(mymain->GetId(), waitcursor);
where mymain is a pointer to your MyMainFrame. Different cursor types
can be found in TVirtualX.h. Of course you would make waitcursor a
datamember of your MyMainFrame and create the waitcursor only once in
the ctor.
Cheers, Fons.
