- I have an application that cranks through a simulation model. Typically,
- it takes around an hour to do each run. I have set up an animated cursor
- to let me know the program is still cranking, but everytime the app
- writes to the TextEdit record, the cursor is hidden by (I assume) a
- call to ObscureCursor. Is it OK to keep calling ShowCursor to get
- my animated cursor back? IM says to balance ShowCursor with Hide-
- or ShieldCursor (or vice versa). My app seems to run fine, but since
- it takes so long to do each run, I don't want the program to bomb.
- Any advice, hints, etc appreciated. Thanks.
