    Hi All

    I was performing some task in for loop so i want to display the cursor in busy mode untill that for loop is executed completly.
    I tried something like this

    @for(int i=0;i<size;i++)
    {
    QApplication::setOverrideCursor(QCursor(Qt::WaitCursor));
    .
    .
    .
    .
    }
    QApplication::restoreOverrideCursor();
    @

    But in above case the cursor remains in busy state even after the loop is completed.

    How to reslove this?
    How to implement this?

      The cursor is pushed onto a stack, so you need to call restoreOverrideCursor as often as you did a setOverrideCursor. Check the documentation of those methods, it explains it.

      Move the setOverrideCursor outside of the loop.

        In my opinion, setOverrideCursor is corresponding to restoreOverrideCursor,
        so you can either

        @
        QApplication::setOverrideCursor(QCursor(Qt::WaitCursor));
        for(int i=0;i<size;i++) {
        .
        .
        .
        }
        QApplication::restoreOverrideCursor();
        @


        or
        @
        for(int i=0;i<size;i++) {
        QApplication::setOverrideCursor(QCursor(Qt::WaitCursor));
        .
        .
        .
        QApplication::restoreOverrideCursor();
        }
        @
