[gtk-2.2.2, pygtk-1.99.16, python-2.3b2]Note that if a window doesn't have a cursor set on it, then it will inherit its parent window's cursor (remember that almost every widget has a window, not just the toplevel gtk.Window).
I want to briefly change my app's cursor to a 'watch' or some such while it's thinking hard. I have a zillion widgets, so it seems like changing cursor for one of them is not likely to be right. From the FAQ, entry 5.6:
http://www.async.com.br/faq/pygtk/index.py?req=show&file=faq05.006.htp
I found a reference to: http://www.daa.com.au/pipermail/pygtk/2000-October/000435.html
wherein it's explained how to create an "input_only" window overlaying my entire app and change that window's cursor. Unfortunately, I can't get this hack to work. It calls for:
gtk.gdk_window_new(gdk_window, attribs)
but I can't figure out how to get a new gdk window. Here's the code [partially adjusted for gtk2]
gdk_window = my_gtkwindow.get_window() attribs = { 'wmclass': gtk.gdk.INPUT_ONLY, 'window_type': gtk.gdk.WINDOW_CHILD, 'event_mask': 0, 'x': 0, 'y': 0, 'width': gtk.gdk.screen_width(), 'height': gtk.gdk.screen_height() } cursor_win = gtk.gdk_window_new(gdk_window, attribs) ?????? gdk_cursor = gtk.cursor_new(get.gdk.WATCH) cursor_win.set_cursor(gdk_cursor) cursor_win._show()
Am I completely off base here?
So if you set the cursor on your toplevel gtk.Window, all the child widgets will inherit it too.
James.
