Show system "working" animation in NETCF

I would like to programmatically show and hide the built-in "working" animation from Windows Mobile. I am talking about the rotating colored brushes you can see in the middle: enter image description here

Yes, I know that I could make my own animation, but this would be completely satisfying.

Solution

  • Use

     Cursor.Current = Cursors.WaitCursor;

    to show the wait animation.

    In most cases an

     Applications.DoEvents();

    will help, if the cursor does not change immediately.
