Hi
I would to display a Cursors.WaitCursor on a ListView control, so I tried

listView.Cursor = Cursors.WaitCursor

but it doesn't work at all, I see always the default cursor. The same thing happens if I set the WaitCursor in the properties window. The strange thing is that with other controls, like buttons or the treeview, it does work. It does not work even if I set the current cursor property with the line

Cursor.Current = Cursors.WaitCursor

Any ideas? Is it a bug of the ListView control? Must I set some other properties of the ListView control to change the cursor

Best regards
Riccardo
 
Here is a FAQ entry showing how you can control the cursor over a Widnows
Forms DataGrid by deriving the grid, overriding WndProc and handlingteh
WM_SETCURSOR message yourself. Maybe the same technique will work for the
ListView.

George Shepherd's Windows Forms FAQ contains an entry entitled:

How can I control the cursor over my DataGrid?

That's a known but of the listview control that is AFAIK fixed in the
next version of the .NET Framework.
