WPF Show wait cursor before application fully loads
- by e28Makaveli
I want to show the wait cursor before my WPF application, composed using CAL, fully loads.
In the constructor of the main window, I have the following code:
public MainWindow([Dependency] IUnityContainer container)
{
InitializeComponent();
Cursor = System.Windows.Input.Cursors.Wait;
Mouse.OverrideCursor = System.Windows.Input.Cursors.Wait;
ForceCursor = true;
//this.Cursor = System.Windows.Input.Cursors.AppStarting;
// event subscriptions
PresenterBase.EventAggregate.GetEvent<ModulesLoadedEvent>().Subscribe(OnModulesLoaded);
}
After all modules have been loaded, the following handler is invoked:
private void OnModulesLoaded(EventArgs e)
{
allModulesLoaded = true;
Mouse.OverrideCursor = null;
Cursor = System.Windows.Input.Cursors.Arrow;
}
Problem is, I do not see this wait cursor. What I am missing here? FWIW, I got a hint from this post

TIA.
