[QUOTE="bigdude, post: 191645, member: 57287"] Silly questions... I would like to use this cursor in a plugin. In C# code how do I bring up this cursor (and how do I get rid of it once the action is complete) ? Do I need a particular Using statement or reference for it ? EDIT: OK. I figured out how to start this thing and stop it, but I now have a new question. I start it and go off to do a time consuming activity, but because a large part of that process is waiting for network responses the UI and wait cursor are starved and the UI appears to freeze. The waiting code looks like this: // Telnet: wait for response timeout = 0; while (tnResponse == "" && timeout < 90000 && !tnResponse.Contains("Selected chang")) { System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(300); timeout = timeout + 300; } System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(100); the code works, but is there something I can add to the wait loop to let the UI and wait cursor 'breathe' ? If not, could someone post a simpe example of how to make a function run in a thread of its own and then return to the original execution path... (I assume that would be the only other choice) ?
