c# set cursor to "Working in Background" cursor.

Question

How can I set a form's cursor to the Working in Background cursor? I know how to set it to the WaitCursor but I can't find the Working in Background (aka Busy Interactive) cursor. I'm using a background worker and figured this would be an easy way to inform the user what's going on.

Answer 1

Looks like you'll be rolling your own since this isnn't one of the built-in states for cursors. You'll have to decide if all the extra graphics will be worth it or if an alternate indicator (in the status bar?) is more feasible.

Answer 2

Cursor.Current = Cursors.AppStarting;
