Changing the cursor

[Mathias Versichele <ma...@gmail.com>]

Hello, calling the setCursor(Cursor.WAIT) method doesn't have any
effect. Just to be clear, I'm calling this from within the gui. Also,
calling setEnabled(false) for any component immediately renders
without any trouble. What might I be doing wrong ?

Here's the reply I posted to this earlier:

To solve your problem, I'd suggest using a StackPane. Make your window content the first component, and then add a component that will act as a "glass pane" on top of that; make this component invisible by default and set its cursor to the WAIT cursor. When you want to "block" your app, make the glass pane visible. This will have the effect of showing the WAIT cursor as well as blocking mouse input to your app.
