Mouse Pointers

16 New Member
Hello All,

What i'm trying to do is in a form, for a box, make it so that when the mouse is over it it is the hand, instead of the mouse pointer. I can't seem to get anything to work though. I can get it to show the hourglass, but haven't been able to find anything that would show the hand. Is there something that i could code into the on mouse move event that would maybe load a custom pointer if nothing else?

Hi, there.

Property to change mouse cursor is Screen.MousePoi nter, but it provides a very limited list of available cursors with no option (I guess) to load custom cursor.

I suggest you to try MSForms controls which have better functionality regarding changing mouse cursor.

Regards,
Fish

P.S. Certainly WinAPI may be used.

Hello. My 80+ year old father has recently decided to get his first computer. Due to his age (and I suspect lack of playing pong as a child like I did) he lacks the manual dexterity to use a mouse well. He is frequently missing the left mouse button and hitting the right, or less often the middle (wheel) buttons. While he is very slowly getting better with practice, the frustration level is high for him as a result of this (he gets very...

Hey guys, I have 2 events on a windows forms datagrid, the mouse move as well as the double click events. What's happening is that when I double click on a row in the grid, the mouse move event gets triggered and the double click is not identified at all. Is there any way I can invoke the double click when the mouse move also exists?

I want to implement mouse for my menu driven program. Where will I get a simple mouse.h header file and instructions as to how to use it etc.? Also I need different kinds of pointers and it should not be in a way that I am confined to just a single kind of mouse pointer. I am very much a novice to C++ and graphics programming in Turbo C++ environment. So please send me instructions which are not very compilcated or in other words reasonably easy...

What is the general procedure to optimize hit tests on objects with a mouse cursor? Just loop through all the objects and check for intersection and break when found or is there something better? I'm just curious if there is an issue with performance when having many objects and hit testing on them all? Thanks, Jon

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
