yes - the wait-cursor is the one of the framework :'(

A C++ would be cool - but i'm not a C++ coder and really don't know how to
do that stuff (i need to read some textfiles before taking the shot etc.)

I don't know when the framework will hide the cursor at all. Isn't it
possbile to write a formless application in .Net for the pocketPC and get
informed when loading is finished (so get informed when wait-cursor is gone
away?)
...i "hate" that framework-waitcursor >:-(
