Are there any suggestions for

1. Disabling all controls except for "Cancel" button

2. Showing WaitCursor on all controls except for "Cancel" button

 

Luc Pattyn already suggested[^] a modal dialog which is impossible due to the information on screen that user needs to press the correct buttons as mentioned above.

How can I disable a control and make it show WaitCursor at the same time?

private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    textBox1.Cursor = Cursors.Default;
    button1.Cursor = Cursors.Default;
    button2.Cursor = Cursors.Default;
    this.Focus();
}

this.Cursor=Cursors.WaitCursor;
// code that may take some tens or, when unlucky, hundreds of milliseconds
this.Cursor=Cursors.Default;

using(new LP_WaitCursor(this)) {
    // code that may take...
}

Of course, the cursor stuff isn't pretty, however you can easily make a
disposable object for these purposes, so my code actually looks like:

using(new LP_WaitCursor(this)) {
    // code that may take...
}

 
where LP_WaitCursor holds a
Cursor=Cursors.WaitCursor in its constructor, and a
Cursor=Cursors.Default in its Dispose() method.

using System.Threading;            

private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
  button2.Cursor = Cursors.WaitCursor;
  Thread.Sleep(10000);
  button2.Cursor = Cursors.Default;
}
