How can I set the curosr to 'cursor.wait' for the whole display screen and not just for the application form? I have tried "Windows.Forms.Cursor.Current = Cursors.WaitCursor" And several variations but without success.

I have an MDI WinForms app in which the MDI parent form has a ToolStrip, MenuStrip and StatusStrip. Whenever the mouse is moved over one of these controls the cursor changes to a 'wait' cursor (a arrow with an hourglass). This seems to be default behaviour in that there is no code to make this happen. The UseWaitCursor property of both the ToolStrip and MenuStrip is false; StatusStrip does not have this property. This occurs in both debug and release builds and confuses the users who think that the app is 'doing' something when really it isn't! Does anyone know what is causing this to happen, and more importantly how to make it stop?

I'm developing a big VB.Net Winforms application. Every now and again, processing or db connections take some time and therefore I'd like a wait cursor (hourglass) to appear sometimes. I know I can do it like in this thread (in case someone needs the code):Hourglass?- technical discussion - developer Fusion - ASP.NET, C# Programming, VB.NET, .NET Framework, Java and Visual Basic Tutorials However, I have LOTS of code and I don't know when the user will need to wait. So, what I'd really want is to tell my ApplicationEvents file or the like to globally intercept after say 0.3 seconds and turn the arrow (default cursor) into the hourglass and at the same time disable mouse clicks and the like.

I'm coding an advanced web browser. The bad thing is, is that whenever you move your cursor over the window, a wait cursor is displayed. I tried to deselect the wait cursor but it doesn't work! I'm using Visual Basic 2010 Beta 2...

I have a DataGridView control in my Windows Forms Application. I am adding rows to the grid using a background thread. I change the form's cursor to Waitcursor when the process starts and back to Default when it ends. This works well for the form, but not for the grid. When the form's cursor is changed back to default, the grid's cursor does not change, although the cursor over the rest of the form does.
I am updating the grid from a background thread? (The cursor is being changed from the UI thread directly). The background process raises an event, the handler checks the InvokeRequired property of the grid and decides if it needs to "Invoke" the method again from the main thread. So, in effect the actual UI update happens from the appropriate thread. I am not sure if this means that I am "using a background thread" or not.

When I use the Publish command in the Build menu pillar nothing happens expcept for a few seconds showing the wait cursor. This was working a week or two back but I have now installed sp1 for Visual Studio 2010 - is this a bug or is there some way. I can get this working again. I cannot access the project properties either, which is a known problem with SP1, so how to edit the project.vbproj file.

I am trying to change the cursor type to a crosshair but am having no luck. The program I am writing initially starts up as taskbar notfiy icon. Once one of the menu items is clicked the mouse cursor should change from an arrow to crosshair. This should remain like this when the mouse button is pressed again, held and then released and then it should go back to being an arrow cursor once again.To start off, I wrote the following code:
Private Sub changeMouseCursor(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles DisectMyScreenToolStripMenuItem.MouseLeave
Cursor = Cursors.Cross
End Sub
This does not work but do not understand as to why this is. Visual basic 10 on Windows 7 SP1. dot net framework 4.5 Beta?

Using VB on a graphics screen I want to have the cursor move on a grid as opposed to every pixel. I believe I must hide the cursor and then draw it myself over the background, but I do not understand how to do this.

This is maybe an weird question because I don't know if its possible so prepare .I am working on a project its a kinda autoclicker.It moves the cursor to positions and perform mouseclicks it all works perfectly.So when it runs you can't do something else on the pc because the cursor gets moved every 1-5 seconds.So I wanna now if its possible to kinda attach it to the program I am making it for so it moves the cursor and do clicks within the form of the program.

I am working on a contract to repair problems in a application that interfaces with a custom built digitizer tablet.The application recognizes the tablet at startup, initiates calibration to locate the pad limits and then saves those limits to file.During the run of the application the user has a cursor that is changed to a line with a X on the left hand side of it. The user then uses this custom cursor to click in a PDF document where they would like the contents of the Digitizer pad to be placed. When they click a box signifying the size of the digitizer pad along with the same blank and X appears. What I have been having issue with is that the box and the line with the X appear most of the time but on occasion the line and X appears at either the top or bottom of the box and the click is no longer at the line with the X but somewhere in the middle of the box. This really screws up things and often the user has to uninstall and re-install the application to get it righted.
The values that save the calibration points are bound to variables during the build process, there is a separate routine to calibrate the digitizer pad if the user desires to do it again.

When I use the code
Public Class Form1
Private Declare Function GetAsyncKeyState Lib "user32" (ByVal vKey As Integer) As Integer
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
[Code] .....
I get an error saying that the cursor format may be wrong. It is a .cur which is the standard for cursors. How to rewrite this so when GetAsyncKeyState(1) then the computers cursor will change to the currentcursor.

While navigating to a series of sites at one site the WebBrowser control's DocumentCompleted EVENT is tripped and no other recorded Browser events occur after that. When this happens the hour glass cursor indicates the browser is waiting. From this point it take 120 to 250 seconds of wall clock time before the browser resumes. I am looking for a way to force an abnormal termination without destroying the control. I have tried "Stop", "nav to about:blank" repeatedly without success. How can I force an abnormal termination when the Cntrl is in a wait state?
Consider the following: The last known Browser event to be tripped is a Document Complete event; nothing else occurs after this. When this transpires the Cntrl is waiting.

This VS010 solution is not providing my intended outcome as a custom override of a 'crosshair' or 'reticle' cursor e.Graphics.DrawPath() is the function that isn't working. This
WORKING solution demonstrates how it's supposed to work. The additonal PictureBox added to a Panel is, for reasons I don't understand, not allowing the 'new' cursor to appear.

I have a user control, and want to be able to update its cursor while it is disabled. For example, say that I have a user control whose cursor is Default. The below code works ONLY when the user control is already enabled; if it is disabled the below code doesn't work and the cursor remains Default: Me.MY_USER_CONTROL.Cursor = System.Windows.Forms.Cursors.WaitCursor

I have a custom cursor that I have as a ico file as cur files are only mono coloured and 32x32.
The only problem in using a ico file is that I can't set where the hot spot is and at the moment it is set in the middle of the icon which is no help
I was looking on the msdn website and it said to set the hotspot like this
Dim instance As Cursor
Dim value As Point
value = instance.HotSpot But I don't know how to set the point value to (0,54) which is where I want the hotspot to be located.

ok I have a program that controls another program.. but sometimes the other program is not running.. so I ask the question "do you want to run it up" so if they it takes like 15 seconds to come up.. so really I dont want to do much on my program while we wait for that other program to finally come up..
normally when my program comes up I make sure the other app is running.. and it would come up before you would click on something to try to call it.. but during the day.. maybe their app crashes.. so then right before I try to make a call to it I will check if its running.. so I want to run it up but kinda put a hold on my code while it waits..
so whats the best way to do this ? stop my code.. call a timer and when it see's its up call again ?? or can I put in some wait in the code then continue... just looking for the best method people have used..
