WaitCursor

WaitCursor is a .NET Compact Framework 3.9 control which allows you to create a custom animation made up of a sequence of images. Though it’s impressive, it’s very simple to use—the developer only needs to provide a sequence of images. WaitCursor will then, during run-time, display all the images in sequence within an infinite loop. You can specify the delay between the images, which in turn sets the animation frame rate.

WaitCursor is useful for creating custom wait cursors (spinners) which tell the user of a background operation taking place (such as a file transfer, document download, etc.). The fact that it uses pre-drawn images allows you to create graphics which beautifully blend into your application design and color theme. It supports PNG images, integrating them in transparently through alpha channel preservation.

Full Visual Studio Designer support guarantees easy setup and use, all you need to do is drag and drop it onto the form, expand the images property and add your PNG files. Check out our sample projects to find out more.
