Does anyone have a suggestion for a method that can be used to decorate any user control to suggest it's state is 'busy'? I'm thinking of something more than simply changing the cursor.

ASP.NET or Windows application?

Why not just disable it, or change the background to flourescent pink. It's your user control, you can do anything you want with it :-D

Happy Coding

I was hoping for a more elegant solution (for example i love the way something like this is implemented in the ANTS Memory Profiler :) ). But still, thanks for the reply.

If it is ASP.NET, then look at this article:
Customizable 'Loading' Control for Web Applications with Designer Support[^]

UPDATE 1:
Well, If it's Winforms, have a look at this control:
Progress-O-Doom[^]
A Pretty Good Splash Screen in C#[^]
A .NET Progress Dialog[^]

I was looking for a solution for WinForms controls, sorry i forgot to mention that. For ASP.NET i have found a couple of LoadingPanels that fit my needs.
