How to referance\qualify Corsor.Current property.

Question

The code:

_parent.Cursor.Current = Cursors.WaitCursor;

Gives the following error:

CS0176: Member 'System.Windows.Forms.Cursor.Current.get' cannot be accessed with an instance reference; qualify it with a type name instead

So how do I properly qualify Current, which is a static member of Cursor?

Thanks - John.

Thanks Reiss,

Assigning to Cursor works fine.

Just out of curiosity how would you reference the Current property if you wanted to?

The same in reverse
Cursor currentCursor = _parent.Cursor

As you are wanting to assign the cursor, you just need

C#

_parent.Cursor = Cursors.WaitCursor;
