    Change cursor in a Class Library

    Hi, I have created a class library that I call from within my program
    using late binding. The class library contains a form and I allow the
    user to do different actions on the form that is part of the class
    library dll. I am having a hard time figuring out how to change the
    cursor between an hourglass and arrow for those time periods when work
    is being done. I have tried
    Cursor = Cursors.WaitCur sor and Cursor = Cursors.Arrow, but the class
    library does not seem to know what the Cursors class is. Can someone
    help?

    Thanks a lot!

      First, it doesn't matter if it's the same assembly or another one.

      Second, you can set the Form's cursor property to change the cursor
      permanently. Or, you can change the shared
      System.Windows. Forms.Cursor.Cu rrent property. It will only stay as long as
      the application is not idle. See <f1> for Cursor.Current.

          I believe the Cursors namespace is in System.Windows. Forms, so you would
          need to say

              System.Windows. Forms.Cursor.Cu rrent =
              System.Windows. Forms.Cursors.W aitCursor


              That may not be exactly right, but you should get the idea.
