Mouse Pointers

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.MousePointer, 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.
