I have a application that works at background , and when my application start the appstarting
cursor blink once ( everytime ), and it is pretty annoying to see how cursor icon switches many times from normal arrow to appstart or “Working in background” hourglass with arrow.

How can I make the appstrating cursor disable, run my application and then enable it back , so the user doesn't feel any difference.Please guide.Thanks

Solution 1

What type of application? (win form, console, win service, etc) If it's an entirely background solution, perhaps the service project type would eliminate the issue.
