Make my application vague while Show "Spinning Wheel”

Question

I have Windows Forms application and while some operation is in progress i want to show Spinning Wheel:

So i created pictureBox and while my operation is in progress i want to see that Wheel but i want it to seen like in web pages, i want it over my controllers at the middle of the application and if it possible i want the rest of my application become vague. is it possible ?

What's different than your previous question [Show "Spinning Wheel” over my Windows Forms application](http://stackoverflow.com/q/21990824/719186)? — LarsTech, Feb 24 '14 at 16:35

Simple solution:

pictureBox1.BringToFront();
pictureBox1.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;

Another option is transparent background and FormBorderStyle set to None. Show this form with ShowDialog() to avoid interaction with main form while it is shown.

NOTE: WinForms is not a Web application. Usually when you have some background process, then you set waiting cursor and disable controls. If you want to display progress, then can use ProgressBar.

@user3271698 sorry, I don't understand what *disable all my controller* means? What are controllers and how you want to disable them? – Sergey Berezovskiy Feb 24 '14 at 16:58
controllerName.Enable= false; – user3271698 Feb 24 '14 at 17:25
