Control Mouse Cursor

[Wayne Wengert]

In VB.NET is there a way to set the mouse cursor to the Wait cursor that
will stay in effect across several forms? For example, I want to set the
cursor to the WaitCursor in formA just before it calls formB and FormB may,
in turn, call another form. I want the WaitCursor until control is returned
to formA where I reset it to Default. (I believe that in VB6 there was the
notion of a screen cursor - that is what I want)

TIA

Thanks for the response Ken but that only seems to change the cursor while
in the original form?

Hello Wayne,

Thanks for the response Ken but that only seems

Try:

Cursor.Current = Cursors.WaitCursor

Hope this helps,
Len
