    Custom Cursor

    How do I use an animated gif as my mouse icon? This will be used while a search is being performed, then switched back when the search is over...

    Thanks!

    Only *.ani files can be used as animated mouse pointer.

    Why don't you simply set the cursor to the EggTimer ?

    Like so...

    VB Code:
    1. 'code
    2. Form1.MousePointer = 11
    3. 'Some long thingmaybob loop

    Or, you could try 13 instead of 11.

    Me.MousePointer = 13

    Instead of writing numeric values, I prefer to write named constansts. They are easier to read.
