Hey guys,

I would like to add a busy I cone using progress bar, but I've got no clue how to do it. I only have this code

jProgressBar1 = new javax.swing.JProgressBar();
jProgressBar1.setBackground(new java.awt.Color(204, 0, 0));
private javax.swing.JProgressBar jProgressBar1;

so what's next?

There is actually a Java tutorial on it:

That would be called changing the cursor. Look into the setCursor method for your component.

http://www.catalysof...busyCursor.html I just googled this one. Seems to have what you are looking for.

I don't think amture wants to change the cursor, but rather is looking for some kind of customized progressbar (e.g. progress indicators as they are common in web applications).

@amture:
I've found these two projects which may be helpful:
http://rabbit-hole.b...icon-redux.html
http://code.google.c...jbusycomponent/

Since I'm also interested in using these components (and did not yet have the time to do so), I'd be glad if you shared your experiences.

Oh I see now. That looks pretty cool. I would also be interested in your findings.

One easy way would be to use an animated gif in a label. Set the image before start and remove the image on finish. Always use a SwingWorker when doing this kind of thing.

well so far what n8schatten gave was not clear enough. It was so confusing, but still working on it
