Hourglass cursor in VB.NET

Im currently making windows forms program (application), and when the user logs into it, he must wait a few seconds before entering it.

My question is: How to get the hourglass cursor, so the user will be informed that the program (app) is busy performing an operation?

Solution

  • You can use either

    Me.Cursor = Cursors.AppStarting

    or

    Me.Cursor = Cursors.WaitCursor

    To set it back to the normal cursor:

    Me.Cursor = Cursors.Default
