Event Handling - Timely JFileChooser

When I pressed a JButton to display a JFileChooser, it takes longer sometimes than others.

There is enough of a delay that it makes me question whether I pressed the button or not.

I changed the cursor to a wait cursor, which I release after creating the JFileChoser, however that has issues.

I was trying to give some feedback that the button was pressed and to please wait.

publicvoid actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)

{

if (e.getSource() == browserButton())

{

setBusyCursor();

JFileChooser chooser =new JFileChooser(....);

setDefaultCursor();

.....

// do whatever work with the selected directory/file....

}

}

Is there another workaround for this...

This works, but setting a busy cursor takes an EventQueue slot -- and perhaps, I'm not sure if, it also adds xx time to the JFileChooser appearing.

WIth that, the cursor seems to remain a busy cursor after the chooser appears -- until you move the mouse.
