how to change cursor to hour glass

in a gui while some operation is going on I want to show an hour glass to indicate "work in progress". How do I do it.

For hour glass see this post:

Otherwise, consider also the waitbar function built in Matlab:

I am aware of this answer however, it only shows a rotating circle while program is executing but not an hour glass. I want to show the old fashioned hour glass instead.

I also wanted to do this, but the cursor comes from your operating system and the hourglass was from older operating systems so I'm not sure it is possible.

Thanks for the clarification. The hour glass was so much better. Oh well.
