What is the spinning circle "CPU busy" thing called?

[rocky_raher]

I am developing an application that can take a minute or so reading a file. During this time, I want to display the little circle that indicates "CPU busy," the PPC equivalent of the hourglass icon on Windows desktop. IIRC, that can be created and stopped programmatically. Unfortunately, I cannot look it up in the Help menu because I don't know what it is called. I searched the index for "Hourglass" and "spinning circle thingy" without success.

Well what I call it when I see it certainly couldn't be written here. Probably wouldn't work in a help search either.

It is called the Cursor. In C#, the code to change it is:

Cursor.Current = Cursors.WaitCursor ;

Cursor.Current = Cursors.Default ;

Thank you, GSmith!

I suspected that it would either have some obscure name (like "DynamicWaitIndicator" or somesuch), or be something that, in hindsight, should have been obvious. Still, I'd have been lost if I hadn't asked. Thanks again!
