• Windows Forms UseWaitCursor not working but Cursor = Cursors.WaitCursor does...

  I'm trying to make use of the UseWaitCursor property of a control - in this case the main Form of my app. I just thought I'd try and make it have a little more feedback. All I've done is this: void someEventHandler(...) { main_form->UseWaitCursor = true; < Do something really long > main_form->UseWaitCursor = false; } But unfortunately that doesn't seem to work quite as I expect. I know that UseWaitCu ...Show All
