OK, it seems to be a complex thing to get an hourglass showing in a function
because of the complexities of .Net, multithreading, etc. But is there a
way to not only show an hourglass for the entire application, but to be sure
that the user cannot edit any controls during this time?

Nevermind that doesn't seem to work.. I'm just shooting out ideas..

What about doing it like this?
pop up a modal dialog that says something like "Please wait..."
set the wait cursor
do processesing
get rid of modal dialog
set cursor back

That way they can't even access the rest of the GUI.
 
Great idea! I will try . . .
