  • 0

does anyone have an idea how to hide the hourglass icon when you execute an application from another?

E.g. App-A with pretty background screen starts App-B. While App-B is loading windows puts this ugly grey block with the rotating hourglass in the middle of App-A.

I have tried calling System.Windows.Forms.Cursor.Hide(); but that did not seem to deter windows. It is possible that I did not use it correctly. Any ideas most welcome.

TIA (Thanks in Advance),
Ends

    The fact you’re calling it an ‘hourglass’ indicates to me that this is not a Windows Mobile device but instead a generic CE device. Unfortunately the CF loader tells the OS to display the hourglass when it starts up and there is actually no way to prevent that from a CF perspective. You can remove the hourglass cursor altogether in the OS itself if you control the OS, but you can’t prevent the CF from showing it if it’s there.
