A cursor in Windows is an icon that is displayed when you move a mouse, a pen, or a trackball. Usually, a different cursor image is displayed for different activity. For instance, the default cursor is different than a wait cursor. Cursors may be different for different operating systems.
The simplest way is to set Mouse.OverrideCursor:
Mouse.OverrideCursor = Cursors.Wait;
try
{
// perform task
}
finally
{
Mouse.OverrideCursor = null;
}
