Screen.MousePointer in VB.NET

[davidman73]

Hi,

I'm kind of new to VB.NET and am trying to do something like the old Screen.MousePointer = vbHourglass.

I found something on the help, saying that I have to use System.Drawing.Cursor.Current, but when I put that into my code, I get an error, saying that does not exist. What's wrong here? Do I have to include something in my code in order to ues that?

Help, please.

Thanks,

David

It's easier than you think, it's just

Me.Cursor = Cursors.WaitCursor

The problem is that the code is inside a class, not a form.

Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but here's some MS sample code that sets cursor inside a class:

    Protected Overrides Sub OnDragEnter(ByVal drgevent As DragEventArgs)
        ' The user is allowed to drag and drop member nodes only.  If the user
        ' attempts to drag something else, display a Not-Allowed mouse cursor.

        Dim obj As Object = drgevent.Data.GetData("XMLDocumentationTool.MemberNode", False)
        If obj Is Nothing Then
            drgevent.Effect = DragDropEffects.None
        Else
            drgevent.Effect = DragDropEffects.Copy
        End If
        MyBase.OnDragEnter(drgevent)
    End Sub
