My primary problem is to display an hourglass when some operation seems to be time consuming. For this i have created an EventQueue, which takes over the System EventQueue. Now i can intercept each even in the queue, and handle them as necessary. But when i convert this application into an
applet, a security voilation is thrown when i try to get the system EventQueue. This isn't surpising, b'coz its always not proper for an applet loaded from some Remote host to manipulate the EventQueue of the Browser machine. Does that mean to say that i can never achieve this using the current procedure. If anyone has an idea please do reply.
