Assign a Cursor to the Cursor property of the control to change the cursor displayed when the mouse pointer is over the control. To temporarily change the mouse cursor for all controls on your application set the Cursor..::.Current property. Typically you would set the Cursor..::.Current property to a wait cursor when populating a ComboBox or saving or loading a file.
The Cursor property is an ambient property. An ambient property is a control property that, if not set, is retrieved from the parent control. For example, a Button will have the same BackColor as its parent Form by default. For more information about ambient properties, see the AmbientProperties class or the Control class overview.
Notes to Inheritors: When overriding the Cursor property in a derived class, use the base class's Cursor property to extend the base implementation. Otherwise, you must provide all the implementation. You are not required to override both the get and set methods of the Cursor property; you can override only one if needed.
