Can we show wait cursor in Fusion 360?

[varun_nct]

We are performing some operation in our Fusion 360 Addin which takes few minutes. During this time we want to restrict user access to Fusion 360 UI. 

Is there any API to change mouse cursor to Wait or Busy in Fusion 360?

Hi @varun_nct .

Why don't you try using ProgressDialog?

I clicked on various parts of the screen while the ProgressDialog was displayed, but it did not respond.

The display of the ProgressDialog should also reduce the stress of waiting time for add-in users

I have not experienced this, but there are reports that the use of ProgressDialog slows down the processing speed significantly.
