waitCursor([state=boolean])
Note: Strings representing object names and arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the synopsis.
waitCursor is undoable, queryable, and NOT editable.
This command sets/resets a wait cursor for the
entire Maya application.
This works as a stack, such that for each waitCursor -state on
command executed there should be a matching waitCursor -state off
command pending.
Warning: If a script fails that has turned
the wait cursor on, the wait cursor may be left on.
You need to turn it off manually from the command line by entering
and executing the command 'waitCursor -state off'.
| boolean | True if the wait cursor is on. |
In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.
