Can't Switch From 'WaitCursor' in Form Property Menu Pulldown

Question

Working in Visual Studio 2010 Express (C#):

Once I've switched the cursor to 'WaitCursor' in the pulldown menu, I can't change it to anything else. It seems like a bug to me. Can anyone else reproduce this? I did run a debug once or twice before trying to change the cursor again. Or am I missing something?

Answer 1

Had the same problem, solution was embarrassingly simple, yet infuriating. There's another property called UseWaitCursor. If this is set to true (as mine was, accidentally), you are unable to change the Cursor property to anything other than WaitCursor.

If someone can explain why there are two separate properties for setting the cursor, I'm sure we'd all love to hear it.

Answer 2

There is a usewait cursor property you need to set it to false in vs2010
