Question

I’m trying to show waiting cursor while my application initializes after clicking on exe file.
My code is below

public MainWindow(string FileName):this()
{
    this.Cursor = Cursors.WaitCursor;
    //some init code
}

But cursor does change only for a moment of second. How to change it for the whole period my some init code executes?

UPD: instantiation of the main window looks like this in Program.cs

mainWindow = new MainWindow(args[0]);
 Application.Run(mainWindow);

Answer 1

Try this

//Set the cursor to appear as busy
Cursor.Current = Cursors.WaitCursor;

---Execute your code-------

//Make the Cursor to default
Cursor.Current = Cursors.Default;
