Ashesh, Murtuza, Surinder, Any thoughts on how we can achieve this easily, and where we're lacking notifications? We did have activity notification in the treeview, but that never worked overly well and now I come to think of it, I don't recall seeing it recently. I'm thinking we need something:
- On treeview node click - On dialogue open and OK - On Wizard steps - Possibly in the debugger, when stepping? I would think all that we need is to set the mouse cursor to 'progress'. Thoughts?
