Mouse Pointer turns to hour glass

[Guest]

Hello,

I have a custom dialog. When the user hits the 'Ok' button, I want my mouse
to turn into an hourglass while its performing work - and then I want it to
go back to normal afer the work is finished.

In C# and Windows projects, how I can I control the look of the mouse?

Thanks

Setting the Current property in the System.Windows.Forms.Cursor class
changes the mouse pointer.

Cursor.Current = Cursors.WaitCursor; // Turn mouse into hourglass
Cursor.Current = Cursors.Default; // Reset to normal

The group: syntax is a very nice way to restrict searches to only the

No, don't tell them how to figure things out - you'll put us out of
work!
