No hourglass during DataLink update (script)

[J Scott]

When using the .updateDataLink() method, the script does not show an hourglass icon in Windows. The user thinks the script is finished running when in fact the application is silently stalled waiting for the script to complete. This does not affect scripts run in the console, only scripts that are set as actions or with a button.

Is there a way to easily set the mouse cursor shape, to indicate to the user that the script is still running? Ideally, whenever a script is running and not allowing application interaction, the hourglass cursor should appear.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I have filed a bug for it and we will correct it in a future release.
