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%?

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

Don't shoot me down guys, I know the Standard says nothing of threads and all.... As i understand it the STL does not support multithreading, however I want to use the STL in a multithreaded environment. Is it sufficient to declare a bool variable 'Locked' which process set when they are using a particular object or do I need to consult some more low level platform-kernel documentation?? Regards

I would like to know how to perform simple multithreading. I had created a simple form to test out if I was multithreading properly, but got buggy results.

Hello, Greetings! I'm looking for a solid C++ multithreading book. Can you recommend one? I don't think I've seen a multithreading C++ book that everybody thinks is good (like Effective C++ or Exceptional C++, for example). Platform-specific (e.g.: Win32, POSIX) is OK, as long as it's good :) Thank you, Ray
