I have a class that inherits from QMainWindow called CMainForm.

I have a menu action that triggers a method called menuPackageLogs().

At the begining of the method I set the cursor to Qt::WaitCursor, and at the end I set it back to Qt::ArrowCursor. In between I call a routine that blocks for a while. The problem is that my cursor never changes. It is always an arrow, never an hour glass.

I must be missing something fundemental here.
Here is an example of the method that gets called:

Qt Code: 
  1. void CMainForm::menuPackageLogs()
  2. {
  3.     // Change cursor to wait cursor
  4.     setCursor(QCursor(Qt::WaitCursor));
  5.  
  6.     bool bRet = UpgradeUtils::PackageLogs();
  7.  
  8.     // Change cursor back to standard arrow
  9.     setCursor(QCursor(Qt::ArrowCursor));
  10.  
  11.     if (bRet == true)
  12.     {
  13.         QMessageBox::warning(this, tr("Package Logs"),
  14.                             "Upgrade log files successfully packaged.");
  15.     }
  16.     else
  17.     {
  18.         QMessageBox::warning(this, tr("Package Logs"),
  19.                             "Could not package Upgrade log files.");
  20.     }
  21. }

If anyone has any ideas, I am all ears. Thanks.
