Multithreading & mousepointers

[Per Rollvang]

Hi All!

I have been struggling with where what & when to set the mousepointer to an
hourglass when using async. multithreading. Nothing seems to work... : (

Anybody that can help me out with that one?

TIA

Per,

Basically, you would do it from the UI thread, right before you kick off
the asynchronous operation. Then, you would set the cursor back when the
operation completed, in the notification that is fired on your UI thread.

Hope this helps.

Hi Nicholas,

thanks for the quick reply!

I don't get this to work with 'Cursor.Current', and this.Cursor is not avail
in my thread...

Any other ideas? Am I doing something else that is terribly wrong, I am not
that good with multithreading. Is this supposed to work? 100%?

Thanks for the link,

I guess I just have to get down in a chair reading for a while... and THEN
get back to the drawingboard....

Cursor.Current is buggy. Use Control.Cursor instead.
