Crystal Reports Viewer always uses WaitCursor

I have a Crystal Reports control that is embedded in a Winform. When the application is run, the WaitCursor (hourglass) is always shown over the Crystal Reports. Attempting to change the Cursor property for the Crystal Reports Viewer Control in the Property Pane of Visual Studio has no effect (the setting remains WaitCursor). Attempting to change the Cursor property in the Form_Load event of the Winform or the Load event of the Crystal Reports Viewer Control has no effect either.

Is there a way to force the cursor to Default when the mouse cursor is over the Crystal Reports Viewer Control? This is Crystal Reports 2008.

I don't have CR, but maybe you can create a NativeWindow and listen in the WndProc method for the event code for set cursor and then prevent it? – Loathing
That's an interesting idea. If I have to resort to that kind of hackery, though, I'll probably just leave it alone. – Robert Harvey
Have you tried listening for the CursorChanged event on the CR control? If CR repeatedly changes the cursor to WaitCursor then you'll end up getting jitter changing back and forth. However, if they only set it once then maybe you can reset it immediately after. – Loathing
They might be using the Control.UseWaitCursor property. Check in debug mode if it's true, and then set it to false. – Loathing
Control.UseWaitCursor was the problem. If you post an answer, I'll accept. Thanks. – Robert Harvey
