How can I change the mouse's pointer

Hi Christian,

What search keywords did you use when you looked this one up in the Help
or on MSDN?

Hi Gang,
Hi guy,
In VB6 is was relatively easy to change the pointer, but now I don't
even see that as a property for any objects. Can somebody tell me
how to do that in .NET?

To change the cursor of a control:

Me.Cursor = Cursors.WaitCursor
To change the cursor for the application:

Cursor.Current = Cursors.WaitCursor

Cursor.Current is a shared member of the cursor class, not a property of the
Form's cursor.

The latter will keep the cursor only until Application.Doevents ist called
(see docs).

Use the 'Cursor' property instead.

- Links might be split into two lines. Concatenate them using notepad.
- Links might require to add a ".nnnn" after the "2003FEB", e.g.
"2003FEB.1033" for localized versions.
- Links starting with "ms-help" are URLs for the document explorer (<F1>).
Paste them in the URL textbox and press enter. Using internal help (menu
tools -> options -> environment -> help), display the "Web" toolbar that
contains the textbox.
- The tree representing the table of contents has been translated from
localized (German) version. Excuse slight deviations.

Thanks guys,
Now that I've got the custom cursor it looks a bit more professional since
it's a board game and I'm using the hand pointer.
Cheers,
