I just learned how to create & load my own cursors with API's
LoadCursor. Very nice.

procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin

  Screen.Cursors[-300] := LoadCursor(HInstance, 'MyCURSOR');
   {MyCursor created in .res file of D3 Image editor}

To load:
  Screen.cursor:=-300 {the number can be assigned to a constant}

Any ideas on how to animate a cursor while
the user is waiting?

Please email me. I thankfully reply.
