in reply to Perl::Gtk2, Looking for a Widget Similar to HourGlass

mmartin:

Rather than a widget, I'm thinking you can just set your mouse pointer to the default "waiting" pointer. I've not used Perl::Gtk2, so I don't know how to do that, but when I googled Gtk2 I found that it definitely has the ability. I'm guessing some digging into the documentation can give you an example.

When your only tool is a hammer, all problems look like your thumb.

    Hey roboticus, thanks for the reply!

    That's another good idea. Now that you mention it I definitely do remember seeing something like "mouse pointer manipulation" at
    some point during my Googling of Gtk2 demos and tutorials and what not... Nice!

    I may not ONLY do the pointer thing, but I will definitely use that in the script along with whatever else I come up with for this!


    Thanks Again,
    Matt
