How to change mouse cursor of a process?

[Tee]

Hi,

From my main form, I am executing another application using
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start.
The application has its own window displaying when the applicaiton is run.

I want to change the cursor to a hourglass. But I only can change my own
form's cursor using Cursor.Current, whenever I move my mouse cursor into the
window, the mouse cursor back to default cursor.
I want to change the cursor in the process's window too. Can anyone tell me
how to do that?
Thanks.

The cursor icons are set per form, so you might have to add an hourglass
icon to the process form, when you are writing something like :
Cursor = Cursors.WaitCursor

then you are actually writing :

Me.Cursor = Cursors.WaitCursor

, so you need to get the handle to the process window, and then write
something like:

Me.Cursor = Cursors.WaitCursor
pProcessFrm.Cursor = Cursors.WaitCursor

Here is a snippet of code that should give you the idea:

private void btnUpdateDatabase_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) {
sqlDataAdapter1.Update(sqlDataSet1);

//Turn on the hourglass cursor here.
this.Cursor = Cursors.WaitCursor;

sqlDataSet1.Clear();
sqlDataAdapter1.Fill(sqlDataSet1);

//Turn off the hourglass cursor here.
this.Cursor = Cursors.Default;
}
