I'm working on some CDF interfaces, and would like to change mouse appearance when perfoming some task. For example, some code like: Button["Test Buttom", {changeMouseAppearance["Computing"]; Pause[0.5]; changeMouseAppearance["Standard"]}] How can I define changeMouseFunc in order to perform that? I know about MouseAppearance, but I need to change mouse pointer in Time, not in Space. The code should work on CDF. Tks in advance

Hi Rodrigo. When I first read your question, my first idea was to use the java.awt toolkit to change the mouse appearance. So I started to write some code which uses TimerTask and ActionListeners etc. Then I read again your question and surprisingly until the end and discovered CDF. Well, that was the moment where I realized, that I'd completly miss your question... Unless there is no undocumented feature, I presume this is simply not possible using vanilla CDF.

Hi Stefan, I have not specified that I'm using Enterprise CDF, maybe your normal Mathematica code could work at this.
