Change cursor under script control

Question

It would very helpful to be able to display a 'wait' cursor while an Illustrator script is running. I have several scripts which work on large numbers of objects, and I'm sure anyone running them would appreciate seeing the spinning colourwheel or hourglass while the script is looping away.
I understand that Adobe's Javascript Toolkit would let you build a progress-bar dialog, but the delays are rarely long enough to justify such a thing. All the same, a change of cursor would reassure users that things were indeed happening.
Scripting is an important feature for Illustrator, not just in saving effort, time and frustration, but because the work of the scripting community invariably suggests new features to be built into the core product or into plug-ins. Often scripts are seen and used by numbers of people other than their original authors. Anything that builds confidence in scripting's utility and capability is likely to be a good thing - and not just for Illustrator.

Answer 1

Thanks, Mark - helpful to know that you tried.
I think we can take the answer to my question as a 'no'. I'll post a suggestion in the Land of Forlorn Hopes, aka Illustrator Feature Requests.
