Display busy cursor while executing JSX?

[frmorel]

Hello,

A some of my scripts take some time on my old computer, is there a way to change cursor to Photoshop busy cursor (maybe "watch" cursor or "spinning balloon" cursor) while executing a JSX script?

I saw progress bars could be shown, but my scripts are not long enough to display such a UI element. I think progress bars should be used for very long processes.

Thank you.

On CC2018 you can use this option, but this does not change the appearance of the cursor.

doForcedProgress("Wait, " + File($.fileName).name + " is running", "the_script()");  
// your script, designed as a function
function the_script()
    {
    // some code
    for(var i=0;i<100;i++)  activeDocument.activeLayer.name = "121"
    // other code
    updateProgress(50, 100); 
    for(var i=0;i<100;i++)  activeDocument.activeLayer.name = "121"
    // ....
    updateProgress(100, 100); 
    }

Damn! "doForcedProgress is not a function" on CS6.

Thanks anyway.

On CS6

var msg = new Window("palette", "", undefined, {resizeable: false, minimizeButton:false, maximizeButton: false, closeButton: false, closeOnKey: false});
msg.margins = [30, 10, 30, 10];
msg.add("statictext", undefined, File($.fileName).name + " is running").justify = "center";
msg.show();
the_script();
msg.close();
msg = null;
// your script, designed as a function
function the_script()
    {
    // some code
    for(var i=0;i<100;i++)  activeDocument.activeLayer.name = "121"
    }
