Change Mouse Cursor in code???

[stustarz]

Sorry if I may sound dull but in VB6 you said formname.mousecursor = vbWhatever - but how do you do this in vb.net?

I have tried msdn but it doesn't seem to tell me how to do it programatically only via the properties window.

Thanks again

Me.Cursor = Cursors.Hand

is one example. Use the intellisense after 'Cursors.' to pick one
of the cursors available.

Thanks ever so much!

Here's a helpful hint. When you want to change the cursor to an hourglass and make SURE you get it back before a function ends, use the following. It uses try/finally but doesn't really care about exceptions. It takes advantage of the fact that regardless of HOW you exit the try, the finally always runs.

try 
{
	this.Cursor = Cursors.WaitCursor;
	// Do something here, even call "return;"
}
finally
{
	this.Cursor = Cursors.Default;
}
