Hello,

I am doing an application in CF for Symbol PPT 2800. I am performing
DB operations using web services and it takes some time. I would like
to show an hourglass (or wait cursor) or anything like that on the
screen so user knows that application is running. Can somebody pelase
tell me how to do that.

Thanks in advance,
Sheetal.
 
From inside a Form object...

[C#]
this.Cursor = Cursors.WaitCursor;
// do stuff
this.Cursor = Cursors.Default;

[VB.Net]
Me.Cursor = Cursors.WaitCursor
' do stuff
Me.Cursor = Cursors.Default
 
Sorry, I got "desktop framework on the brain"... here is a way that works
with the CF:

Cursor.Current = Cursors.WaitCursor;
// do stuff
Cursor.Current = Cursors.Default;

Thanks Tim. I had been trying Me.cursor but it wasn't working. Now it does :-)

The VB code given is not correct for the .net CF, the
correct code is

Cursor.Current = Cursors.WaitCursor
Cursor.Current = Cursors.Default

Yep. I corrected that in the next post. It's in C# only but it's not that
difficult to translate to VB.
