Cursors

[Gav]

Hi all,

I have a windows form that creates a background thread to do a long task and
'invokes' back to the form to update the UI (progress bar etc). I would like
to show the 'busy' (Default arrow and waitcursor) cursor as long as my
background thread is still running. Can anyone help me acheive this?

I know it's 2 different problems in one because a) I cannot find the cursor
I want and b) after the function ends that starts the background thread the
application changes back to the default cursor.

Any help would be great, thanks
Gav

I just flew in from Chicago with
a man with a wooden leg named Smith
who shot an elephant in my pajamas.
So I bit him.

Check out the form's 'UseWaitCursor' property.
