I have an application that takes a couple of seconds to run. Is it possible to make the mouse with the busy icon while the app is processing?

Use Cursor.WaitCursor property.

You can use:

Cursor.Current = Cursors.WaitCursor;

and as long as there is some processing going on in a WinForms application, the cursor stays in the WaitCursor state.

You can as well use your custom designed cursors:

Cursor.Current = new Cursor("C:\\Cursors\\MyWait.cur");
