I am currently working on a program which has substantial computation
and wait times (incidentally, the object graphics seem to take an
unusually long time to render. . .).
I want to be able to show progress and was wondering if anyone knows how
to do the following things:
1) Change the pointer/mouse to an hourglass or similar 'hold on' icon.
I am using IDL for UNIX.
2) Show a progress bar.
3) Have a modal message widget come up, but with no user buttons, and
some text. Basically it needs an ID so i can destroy it later in the
program. Is the best way to do this just make a window?
thanks in advance,
matt
