Beachball cursor while selecting from list

Hi,

I’ve made script to export from InDesign. I placed it in InDesign Application folder presets/scripts so I can run it from InDesign.


tell application "Adobe InDesign CS2"
	set myStyles to name of PDF export presets
	set myPrintStyle to (choose from list myStyles with prompt "Valitse PDF vientiasetus") as string
	set myDocument to active document

Now when I run it, mouse cursor is beachball while I choose from list. It works anyway, but it’s not nice :slight_smile:
How can I change mouse cursor to arrow while choosing from list?

Thanks.

Search the InDesign dictionary for cursor control because it is putting up the beachball and I doubt that any of the AppleScript methods will work. Alternatively, run your script outside of ID CS2.
