Not sure where I read about this (MSDN magazine article?), but it explicity
said NOT to use Cursor.Current = Cursors.WaitCur sor, but to instead use
Me.Cursor = Cursors.WaitCur sor. I was having all kinds of problems with the
mouse not changing correctly until I switched to using Me.Cursor.

I will try and find the link to back this up. :)

If the UI is not idle (and does not use doevents), one should use
cursor.current because it affects the whole application. Otherwise you'd
have to set the cursor for each single control (including forms).

In my Windows Forms application, while executing a process that takes some time, I am changing the cursor to the hourglass by setting Cursor.Current = Cursors.WaitCursor. This is working just fine, except that any mouse events generated during this wait period (such as clicking on a button, etc.), get processed once the processing is complete. For example, while waiting for my task to complete, I click on a button (even though the...

With the following code I can change the mouse pointer. However, if you click in Mozilla (with IE it works perfect) on 'Show hourglass' the mouse pointer changes only if you move the mouse at least on pixel. <html> <body> <script type = 'text/javascript'> function show_hourglass() { document.getElementById("my_href1").style.cursor = "wait"; document.getElementById("my_href2").style.cursor = "wait";

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
