Problem Description:
When invoking setCursor - say to set the wait cursor, and setEnabled - to false, in sequence. All input does becomes disabled but the wait cursor does not come up, as expected.
When setCursor is invoked on its own all is ok, and the wait cursor comes up.

This is a genric problem. i.e. no other cursor but the default cursor will come up, what ever setCursor is set to.

is there a way round this problem???

public class Cursors extends Applet {
  int[] cursor_types = { // Constants for the 14 predefined types
    Cursor.DEFAULT_CURSOR, Cursor.CROSSHAIR_CURSOR, Cursor.TEXT_CURSOR,
    Cursor.WAIT_CURSOR, Cursor.HAND_CURSOR, Cursor.MOVE_CURSOR,

  String[] cursor_names = { // The cursor names as strings
    "DEFAULT_CURSOR", "CROSSHAIR_CURSOR", "TEXT_CURSOR", "WAIT_CURSOR",
    "HAND_CURSOR", "MOVE_CURSOR", "N_RESIZE_CURSOR", "S_RESIZE_CURSOR",
    "E_RESIZE_CURSOR", "W_RESIZE_CURSOR", "NE_RESIZE_CURSOR",
    "NW_RESIZE_CURSOR", "SE_RESIZE_CURSOR", "SW_RESIZE_CURSOR"
  };

  /** Create a grid of buttons each using a different cursor */
  public void init() {
    this.setLayout(new GridLayout(0, 2, 5, 5));
    for(int i = 0; i < cursor_types.length; i++) {
      Button b = new Button(cursor_names[i]);
      // This is how we obtain a Cursor object and set it on a Component
      b.setCursor(Cursor.getPredefinedCursor(cursor_types[i]));
      this.add(b);
    }
    this.setEnabled(false);
  }
}

PS.
If the line
  this.setEnabled(false);
is commented out, then all set cursors will come up as expected.
