A quick search of this forum yielded no answer to what I believe to be a
silly little problem. I have, in my MainForm, the following:

Cursor.Current = Cursors.WaitCursor;
Application.DoEvents();

The cursor never seems to change. What am I missing?

From the MSDN docs...
"Note If you call Application.DoEvents before resetting the Current
property back to the Cursors.Default cursor, the application will resume
listening for mouse events and will resume displaying the appropriate Cursor
for each control in the application."
