Set WAIT_CURSOR for whole application, not for single frame

Question

Hello,
I am trying to set the cursor to an hour glass while a process runs. The application uses serveral frames that are open at the same time. The problem I have is that the cursor is attached to the frame (frame.setCursor) so once I move off the frame to another one the curosr is no longer an hour glass and when I move backover the first frame the cursor does not change back to the hour glass.
Is there any way to set the hour glass for the whole application?
Cheers
Andreas

hi,
write a new class for this: class CursorHandler
  private static Vector frames = new Vector ();
  public static void addFrame (JFrame f)
    frames.add (f);
  public static void setCursor (Cursor s)
    for (int i = 0; i < frames.size (); i++)
      JFrame f = (JFrame) frames.get (i);
      f.SetCursor (s);
}then just do:CursorHandler.addFrame (this); //for all frames
CursorHandler.setCursor (new Cursor (Cursor.WAIT_CURSOR)); //in any framegreetings,
