    How do I change the busy symbol?

    Hiya,

    I would have searched the net for the answer, but there is really no point, because I don't actually know what to look for.

    I want to chance the loading/busy/waiting/whatever thingy you can see when an windows mobile application is loading after the start.

    How is it actually called? Is it possible to change it and how do I do that?

    thank you very much in advance.

    Sunny greetings form germany

    for busy
    Cursor.Current = Cursors.WaitCursor

    for normal
    Cursor.Current = Cursors.Default

    you may also need to call application.doevents to get it to show

    Hm, I thought that only applies for a mouse pointer. I mean the clock with the four colours, which is visible directly after starting a windows mobile application even before the first form opens. I have never considered it as a mouse pointer.

    Can I actually change the cursor image for a single application, so that I don't have the usual windows mobile waiting cursor but an entirely different cursor image? I haven't found anything about that at the internet.
