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

Re: Control Mouse Cursor

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

Try:

Cursor.Current = Cursors.WaitCur sor

Hope this helps,
