busy widget 1

[tazhicham]

hi all!

when i click on a button of my main window, it creates a new window. so far, so good. but i want any click on a button disabled till my new window appears. i know that there's a busy method but i can't figure out how to use it.

thanx
bye

What are you talking about? What language is this in? Is this a web script dealing in HTML or a local GUI you are trying to get to work?

Perl/TK ?

If it's Perl/TK, this is from the Widget module text and might help.

$widget->Busy?(?-recurse => 1?-option = value>?)?
This method configures a -cursor option for $widget and (if -recurse = 1> is specified) all its descendants. The cursor to be set may be passed as -cursor = cursor> or defaults to 'watch'. Additional configure options are applied to $widget only. It also adds a special tag 'Busy' to the bindtags of the widgets so configured so that KeyPress, KeyRelease, ButtonPress and ButtonRelease events are ignored (with press events generating a call to bell). It then acquires a local grab for $widget. The state of the widgets and the grab is restored by a call to $widget->Unbusy.
