Wait cursor while loading the Form (C#.net windows)

[DKn]

Hello All,

I am doing one C#.net windows application.
At the time of loading the form , some operations need to be done, so it will take time( one or two minutes) to load the form. At this time, I want to show a message to the user like "Loading the Project ..Please wait" with a wait cursor. Once the form is loaded, the message and wait cursor should go.


How to do this?

Thanks in advance..

One to two minutes to load the form?!? That's a pretty extensive amount of code. Have you not thought about threading the load? The change of the mouse cursor is easy enough.

Me.Cursor = Cursors.AppLoad ing

Or you could add a splash screen to your application... so many ways to skin a cat.

In C#.Net Cursors.AppLoad ing is not there.
I have tried with this.. no use.
this.Cursor = Cursors.AppStar ting;
Thanks for you reply. Any other ways to do this.
