How do I use a thread for example, is I have a block of code that takes 5 seconds to finish executing after clicking the button, and while it is being done, I want to show a loader so the user knows that it is still loading. Can I have an example?

User Wait Curser when you start executing your logic 

Cursor.Current = Cursors.WaitCursor;

When you finish change to default

   Cursor.Current = Cursors.Default;

  • No, not just the cursor. I have a gif ready in a picturebox, I want to show it while the block of code is being executed – Loue Potente Nov 30 '18 at 06:57
