Is it possible to switch the cursor to the default wait(hourglass) cursor of the OS (windows, Linux, etc)?

If so, how?

PS: I'm aware of OverrideCursor.

Another option is CursorImage. Altough I think someone discouraged me from using it a while back...

Why create a wait cursor image that will be uglier (as Im a programmer, not a graphic artist) and not animated when all modern OS already have their own cursor (better looking and usually animated) for a busy state?

Hi,

How about using:

{
  WaitCursor waitcursor;

  // The stuff to wait for goes here...
}

Best regards,

Tom
