How to change mouse arrow to hour-glass for a GUI created by GUIDE?

Hi,

Does anybody know how to change the mouse pointer from arrow to hour glass whenever it is located inside a GUI created by GUIDE?

I know for a figure the command is

set(gcf,'pointer','watch')

What should I change the gcf to refer to the entire GUI figure?

Thanks,

QM

What do you mean by "entire GUI figure"? The shown command should be sufficient actually.

Put the:

set(gcf,'pointer','watch')

at the bottom of the automatically generated OpeningFcn, e.g.:

function example_OpeningFcn(hObject, eventdata, handles, varargin)
% This function has no output args, see OutputFcn.
% hObject    handle to figure
% eventdata  reserved - to be defined in a future version of MATLAB
% handles    structure with handles and user data (see GUIDATA)
% varargin   command line arguments to batz (see VARARGIN)

% Choose default command line output for example
handles.output = hObject;

% Update handles structure
guidata(hObject, handles);
set(gcf,'pointer','watch')
