    <p>I have a program that is going to do some work (in a background thread) at startup, so I'd like to display a busy cursor for a few moments while a table is being populated. Unfortunately, no matter what I did, I could not get a wait cursor to appear if my window (<code>JFrame</code>) appeared under the pointer. I did some experimentation, and I tracked it down to a simple test case (below). Basically, if there exists a <code>JScrollPanel</code> (e.g. as a parent for a <code>JTable</code>) as a child of the <code>JFrame</code>, then only the default cursor will appear unless I move the pointer out of the window and back in.</p> <p>Here's the compilable code:</p> <pre><code>package cursortest; import java.awt.Cursor; import java.awt.Dimension; import javax.swing.*; public class CursorTest extends JFrame { void initPanel() { JScrollPane panel = new JScrollPane(); panel.setMinimumSize(new Dimension(500, 500)); panel.setMaximumSize(new Dimension(500, 500)); panel.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(500, 500)); GroupLayout layout = new GroupLayout(getContentPane()); getContentPane().setLayout(layout); layout.setHorizontalGroup( layout.createParallelGroup(GroupLayout.Alignment.LEADING) .addComponent(panel) ); layout.setVerticalGroup( layout.createParallelGroup(GroupLayout.Alignment.LEADING) .addComponent(panel) ); } public CursorTest() { initPanel(); setMinimumSize(new Dimension(500, 500)); setMaximumSize(new Dimension(500, 500)); setPreferredSize(new Dimension(500, 500)); setCursor(Cursor.getPredefinedCursor(Cursor.WAIT_CURSOR)); pack(); } /** * @param args the command line arguments */ public static void main(String[] args) { java.awt.EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() { @Override public void run() { new CursorTest().setVisible(true); } }); } } </code></pre> <p>Launch the program so that when the window appears, the mouse pointer is within the bounds of the window. You may have to fiddle with the sizes to get that to happen (that I know I have forced in an artificial way for this example). </p> <p>If <code>initPanel</code> is NOT called, then the mouse cursor will immediately appear as a wait cursor.</p> <p>If <code>initPanel</code> IS called, then the mouse cursor will appear as default until you move the pointer out of the window and then back in.</p> <p>Also, if the <code>JScrollPane</code> is replaced with some other kind of widget, say a <code>JLabel</code>, then this cursor problem does not manifest.</p> <p>Can anyone help me to figure to how to fix this problem? I've thought about also setting the busy cursor for the widgets (my <code>JScrollPanel</code> and/or <code>JTable</code>), but this doesn't work. You could try it by adding the line <code>panel.setCursor(Cursor.getPredefinedCursor(Cursor.WAIT_CURSOR));</code>.</p> <p>Oh, and I should probably mention that I'm doing this on a Mac.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
