Displaying a wait cursor or spinner, and check boxes

[bmillham]

I've searched the docs, and can't find an answer to this one.

Is there a way to change the cursor to a hourglass or spinner?

I know that I can show a progress bar, but for what I'm doing, I think that a wait cursor would be fine.

Also, can someone point me to a good example of how to use check boxes? What I'm trying to do with check boxes is to display a list of movie genres to filter a list of movies, like show all action and sci-fi movies, but not comedy.

Thanks, Brian
