I got sick of losing the SHOWPROGRESS widget underneath all my other
zillion widgets (sorry, David), so I put a progress bar and a cancel
button inside one of my widgets.
Within the time-consuming loop, I force events at the cancel button to
be processed using WIDGET_EVENT:
progress_event = WIDGET_EVENT(cancel_button, /nowait), $
/save_hourglass)
The hourglass has been switched on at the beginning of the loop, and
setting /save_hourglass keeps it around until processing is finished,
when it disappears.
EXCEPT THAT this doesn't work in the runtime version - the hourglass
sticks around forever.
Any ideas as to what trick I'm missing?
Thanks,
Kristine
