preventing WAIT_CURSOR clicks

Hello,

While processing certain data I want to prevent the user from clicking any buttons in the application.

I change the cursor to a WAIT_CURSOR, but I can still activate buttons, just like a regular cursor.

I'm pretty sure there's a very simple answer to this, but I couldn't find it sofar...

Thanks,

Kamo

Or (and didn't this come up just yesterday?) you could provide some morevisual feedback by having a modal dialog box appearing (perhaps with acancel button!). The modality will take care of locking up other windows,and it will give more feedback that a mere cursor.

Thanks for pointing me to the glass pane. Exactly what I needed.

I can see the point about using a modal dialog, but it wouldn't work well for my application. I already have a status message and progress bar on the main app panel that give visual feedback for the task running.

Thanks,
