hi there, having bit of pain last stage of application i've designed.

basically, when user clicks button, i'd cursor becomes 'waiting' version , once background process (task.execute) has completed, cursor returns normal.

the task.execute isn't in same class can't straight call of "gui.setcursor" because doesn't recognise gui variable.

not sure advice great

thanks :d

modify task's class takes gui constructor argument. way, when task completed, can invoke setcursor method.

you should use swingworker kind of thing.

edit :

here's how code of task should :

public class myswingworker extends swingworker<void, void> {      /**      * frame must have default cursor set       * @ end of background task      */     private jframe gui;      public myswingworker(jframe gui) {         this.gui = gui;     }      // ...      @override     protected void done() {         // done method called in edt.          // no need swingutilities.invokelater here         gui.setcursor(cursor.getpredefinedcursor(cursor.default_cursor));     } }
