How do I display wait cursor during a WPF application's startup?
This should work
Mouse.OverrideCursor = System.Windows.Input.Cursors.Wait;Use System.Windows.Input not System.Windows.Forms.
If you have a task that takes a significant amount of time, and it is running on a non-GUI thread, (which is a good idea) you can use this code to change the application cursor:
Application.Current.Dispatcher.Invoke(() =>{ Mouse.OverrideCursor = Cursors.Wait;});When the busy process completes, use this:
Application.Current.Dispatcher.Invoke(() =>{ Mouse.OverrideCursor = null;});
Mouse.OverrideCursor = System.Windows.Input.Cursors.Wait; InitializeComponent(); ... Mouse.OverrideCursor = null;
