this.Cursor works but not Cursor.Current not working

[=?Utf-8?B?Sm9hY2hpbQ==?=]

Am I not supposed to be able to set the current cursor by assigning
Cursor.Current? this.Cursor in the main dialog works, but not Cursor.Current
other components. I am using a third party tool called SandDock to get Visual
Studio 2005 look and feel. Could that library cause it not to work?

There's some variation as to what forms and components are affected by each
way of setting the cursor. If you want to put an hourglass on everything in
the whole application, try this:

Application.Use BusyCursor = true;

and to return to normal,

Application.Use BusyCursor = false;

this.Cursor = Cursors.Default ;
this.Cursor = Cursors.Hand;
....

Hope that help.

Thanks.
Ok.. what if I want a custom cursor or a cursor specified in the Cursors
class?

Yes, but how do I set the cursor from a class where I don't have access to a
this pointer which has a Cursor property?
