I have a page that contains too many objects and i need to use hourglass cursor to indicate the openning process of this page and hide when the page opens

[bemshaswing]

I use
Status.show("page updating...");

it brings up a large block instead of a little hourglass but it works. I've also had a hard time using:

Bitmap bitmap = new Bitmap(Bitmap.HOURGLASS, 25, 25);
Status.show("page updating...", bitmap, 1000);

as the Bitmap.HOURGLASS throws an exception on a bunch of devices, for some reason I can't understand

Yes I tried these two ways but i need only hourglass without dialog...You have seen the hourglass of some BlackBerry, maybe...It is not like this bitmap image that you told me about...so i need the hourglass of the blackberry OS...If someone knows more about that , write please

Hi,
U can put a HOURGLASS cursor this way.......

Bitmap bitmap=Bitmap.getPredefinedBitmap(Bitmap.HOURGLASS );
Status.show("plz Wait",bitmap,3000);

It will not through any exception.......

regarding the original request - it's not possible to invoke the system level hourglass notification programmatically

Well, In fact I realized that some time ago, you can put a dialog boxes with bitmap picture on them with something that look like hourglass or something else, but i needed the system hourglass. I realized that it shows sometimes when the system is working hard.
