The Mac cursor cannot be changed to an hourglass, it stays as a pointer.

Tested on:
Mac OSX 10.6.8 Intel core
Lazarus 1.4.4
Carbon
Using example code /Developer/lazarus/examples/cursors/project1.lpi

Change any of the buttons from their existing cursor definition to crHourglass and the button only shows a regular pointer.

The crSQLWait cursor shows properly.

Any ideas greatly appreciated!

The hourglass cursor in the Mac (maybe just the version I am using) is not the same as in Windows or Linux, so something else must be done. I am now going to make a progress bar visible with the style set to pbstMarquee as discussed here:
