Can 2008 R2 busy cursor be changed to Win 7 spinning circle?

I read that 2008 R2 is basically the same as win 7.
Is there a way to change the 2008 R2 wait cursor to the win 7 spinning circle wait cursor? If so, how?
Thanks

Hi,
AS far as i know there have no offical method you can move that pointer, but personal experience is you can install the cursor by your self, you can get the cursor solution on many Windows fans websites.

How can the thickness of Cursor be changed in cwgraph with VB?

Dear all,
I want to change the thickness (width) of curse in a cwgraph with vb in run time. Any comment will be greatly appreciated.
with best regards

Cursors do not allow you to specify a line width. You can, however, specify a different point style if you are just trying to make the cursor stand out.
If you need the lines to be thicker, you could create 2 line annotations and have them draw on top of your cursor. Annotations were added in Measurement Studio 6.0.

Hello, i opened an email with photo attachment, it is still trying to download and has blocked my ipad2. I foolishly turned it off and now can`t turn it on as it just shows the spinning circle icon 0 help- novice user here

Help< I opened an email with photo attachements and it is taking all day to download, I cant delete it, it just stops mail from working. Everything else was fine till i thought turning off the ipad and trying again would work. It didn`t, I cant turn it on at all - itjust shows the spinning wheel (loading?) icon and nothing else. Being a novice and ive only had this for a couple of weeks i need help!

Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Can not get text selection cursor to change to column selection cursor

Hi, Thank You for any time and help .
I'm new to InDesign, and I'm hoping to use the new feature of moving columns / rows.
But, I can not get the text cursor to change into the column or row selection cursor.
I am able to get the resize cursor, or use the ctrl+3 shortcut to select the entire column,
but I can not get the downward pointing arrow cursor to select the column, and/or move it.
Sometimes the row selection cursor will appear, and some rows can be moved, but I have been unable to move the columns.
Thanks again, all my best

Thank You Sumit !
That does appear to work, but not in all cases?
Example: 9/12/2014 10:44:14 AM - YouTube <--quick vid capture of issue.
I am able to select and move columns and rows, but columns appear to need a 'clean' column to work / move?
Thanks again, I sincerely appreciate it!

Change busy cursor

Hi guys,
I am trying to change app's busy cursor, but haven't been successful yet. I have create a .swf file that work fine. Next I tired the following code in my application init fuction
var style:CSSStyleDeclaration = StyleManager.getStyleDeclaration("CursorManager");
if (!style) {
style = new CSSStyleDeclaration();
style.setStyle( "busyCursor", myBusyCursor );
StyleManager.setStyleDeclaration("CursorManager", style, false);
but this does not do anything. I am using showbusycursor="true" on all my RPC calls, and some depending on the query could take a sec longer. I just want to override the animated clock with my .swf through out the app.
Any pointer? I have spend about a day and half but no luck. I understand that CursorManager.setBusyCursor() will actually show the cursor, which is not what I want since I don't make a call to show busy cursor explicitly
Thank you
Jay

Hi,
Just override the default cursor after you call your process, then on complete clear the cursor.
The following example will set the cursor to a custom cursor, note that by setting the custom cursor the busy cursor will be over riden (in this particular case even if you try to set the busy cursor after the custom cursor).

Busy cursor on Web

We are currently moving our application to the Web and find that the Busy cursor style remains an arrow - how can we change this?

Flex har
UI:
This was not AIR, it is Flex 3.
The WMODE is normal.
However I have solved my problem.
Originally I wanted to completely replace any active cursor with the busy cursor. The problem (to review) was that the orignal cursor would not go away, and would appear on top of the busy cursor, and then when moving the mouse, the busy cursor would trail after the original cursor, and the two cursors would kind of join up again. So it was really annoying.
I did find the following which sort of solved the problem:
Mouse.hide;
this.mouseChildren=false;
CursorManager.setBusyCursor();
With the above, the original cursor would go away and stay gone, *once the mouse was moved*, leaving only the busy cursor. Why it was necessary to move the mouse, I have no idea. So this as well did not completely solve the problem (but came much closer).
Here was my final solution:
First of all, I had not noticed previously that the standard busy cursor in the browser keeps the original pointer, and just offsets an hourglass to the right of that pointer by a fixed distance. Don't know why I had not notice that before. So all I had to do was
csr_busy = CursorManager.setCursor( StyleManager.getStyleDeclaration("CursorManager").getStyle("busyCursor"),1,20,0);
at one place, and then to remove it later,
CursorManager.removeCursor(csr_busy);
That's it. the '20' parameter just keeps the busy cursor (an animated clock) 20 pixels to the right of the original cursor (whatever it happens to be at the time - a pointer, a hand, etc.), which from my experience is impossible to completely remove anyway, so I don't try. But it looks good as I have it now, and contrary to what I originally thought is consistent with the Browser's own busy cursor.

[Solved] No busy cursor shows

dwm + arch very good but no busy cursor shows during application launch waiting time. Googling all day no solution.

Trilby wrote:I doubt that is what they do. I suspect the DE also couldn't change the cursor if the heavy app was launched from the command line. But if it is launched from a .desktop file (which it often would be in a DE) then the DE can listen for an event of when what program's main window is displayed.
Ah, that makes more sense - and would allow not having to poll the CPU usage (and I guess there aren't many people launching things from a command line in a DE).
... been too long since I've used a DE.
EDIT
So if you were to patch dwm, you'd need to add data structures for keeping track of processes that are forked from dwm, and associate each appearing window to the corresponding process in order to determine whether to show a "busy" cursor or a normal one.
May I say that this goes pretty much against the pricincple of dwm of keeping out superfluous features?
... but then again, "superfluous" is subjective, and dwm is made for people patching it to fit their needs, and while having a "busy cursor" in dwm may not seem useful for the big part of dwm users, you are free to patch it whatever way you like, and that's the beauty of a hackable WM

Busy Cursor in SchedulingGantt

Hi.
I have a SchedulingGantt and I want to show a busy cursor when the user changes a task (or any DataChangeEvent). Any idea how I can do that?
When the user moves a task it will pop back to where it was, the model has to be refreshed on the server and then the page(or at least the gantt) has to be refreshed to show the new location. This can take a few seconds and during that time it looks to the user like nothing happened.
I found the AdfAgent.showBusyCursor function which probably would work, but how do I catch the DataChangeEvent on the client before it is sent to the server? My first thought was to use af:clientListener on the dvt:schedulingGantt but that isn't supported.
Are there any other ways to do this?

Two things come to mind:
1. put an <af:statusIndicator> on the page. This will show a spinning gif whenever a ppr is active. A good visual feedback for the user
2. use a [glass pane |http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/tips/fnimphius/glasspane/glasspane.html] to disable the whole UI while something is active.

Show Custom Busy Cursor on RemoteObject calls

Hi,
I am trying to display a custom image as busy cursor while making remote object calls in flex 4 with cairngorm.
i tried in two different ways and neither worked -
First approach - declaring style for CursorManager in css style sheet:-
CursorManager {
busy-cursor: Embed(source="/com/officemax/amps/assets/images/ball-3.jpg");
This did not work as it could not resolve a namespace and i could not find CursorManager either with mx or s namespace.
Second approach - set cursormanager style on initiliaze of application file:-
[Embed(source="/com/officemax/amps/assets/images/ball-3.jpg")]
public var busyImg:Class;
and on init method-
styleManager.getStyleDeclaration("mx.managers.CursorManager").setStyle("busy-cursor", busyImg);
This did not work either. this returned CSSDeclaration class for the CursorManager but I could not see the cursor reflect.
I do not want to set and remove cursor upon each call, i want to apply it globally.
Any ideas are greatly appreciated.
Thank You.

@lakshdn,
The two approached you used should work. I suspect surely you made mistakes..Well let me explain..
In the CSS style declaration below make sure you have assigned the correct relative. If you are getting any error saying that it could not resolve the path or namespace then it means that you have not assigned the image path correctly. Make sure it is given correctly.
CursorManager {
busy-cursor: Embed(source="/com/officemax/amps/assets/images/ball-3.jpg");
Well coming to AS style of setting cursor manager . You have used systemManager with lower case for s and in the setStyle method you need to use the busyCursor instead of busy-cursor(similar to css).
styleManager.getStyleDeclaration("mx.managers.CursorManager").setStyle ("busy-cursor", busyImg); - wrong way of assigning.
StyleManager.getStyleDeclaration("mx.managers.CursorManager").setStyle ("busyCursor", busyImg); - correct way of assigning.
Observe the changes I made in bold letters.
Always remember when you are setting styles in AS using setStyle method you need to give the properties in the lower camel case but not as you give in the css. In css we can use any king of style (either word seperated by hyphen or lower camel case syntax)
Hope this is clear ..make these changes and check..
Thanks,

Problem with busy cursor

IHey there,
i have a popping up window in my Flex app. This window needs a little time to get created. In this time I want to set the Cursor to busy. But instead of the busy cursor Flex displays no cursor, also the arrow cursor disappears.
I tried the hack with callLater but it doesn't help. Had anyone a similar problem and knows how to fix it?
By the way: What is the best way to set the busy cursor? Static, with the parentApplication.cursoManager property or in the component with this.cursoManager? All of these ways have the same result on my problem: no cursor!
click on a item (own component, extended Canvas, buttonMode = true)
call function by MouseListener
function {
    this.cursorManager.setBusyCursor();
    this.callLater(doPopUpWork);
callLater function
doPopUpWork() {
    // DO WORK AND ADD POPUP
    this.cursorManager.removeBusyCursor;
I checked the right timing with trace statements [ trace("setBusy") ... ] and the also cursor comes Back when work is done and popup was added. All right and in right time. But the cursor disappears in that time instead of showing the busy cursor.
Can anybody help me???

I see there are problems with reading the code, try again:
click on a item (own component, extended Canvas, buttonMode = true)
call function by MouseListener
function {
    this.cursorManager.setBusyCursor();
    this.callLater(doPopUpWork);
callLater function
doPopUpWork {
    // DO WORK AND ADD POPUP
    this.cursoManager.removeBusyCursor();

How can I make Business area field optional in MIRO

How can I avoid business area in MIRO?

Thank you,
Marella.

check the GL accounts field status variant attached to the Invoice posting.

I reloaded my old iWorks 08 to my iMac's new hard drive. With a new Pages document, I can't see the cursor. You can type in text but it is in white only. Any thoughts?

Hi. I lost my iMac's hard drive and had a new one installed. I reloaded my old iWorks 08 software and then transferred my Pages documents from a portable HD to the iMac. The files open but the original text in them (they are journals) are in white against the white background. Plus I can't see any sign of the cursor. I can hi-lite the text and change its colour but never to black. Plus the photos I inserted along side the text are barely visible, as if they had been badly faded.
Any thoughts on this? Many thanks.
Richard

Richard,
You must run Software Update and bring your old iWorks 08 to the latest release for compatibility with the current OS.

How to assign values to textbox automatically when cursor position changed

I want to get values based on the values entered in the one textbox when we change the cursor position the value to be automatically loaded in to other text box is it possible please help me .....

You still haven't explained what a text box is.
Repeating what you've already said in "BOLD" text doesn't make the question any clearer.
What does the changing cursor position have to do with anything. I can use the arrow keys to move the cursor without changing the text.
