cursor shape

[Zhang Juan]

Hi, friends!
In Setpointer help file, it says "The available shapes
include the stock pointers listed above, as well as any
custom cursor files you have." The problem is how can I use
custom cursors?

Hi Zhang,

Custom cursors end in .cur. If you are running Windows 95, you should have
some in C:\Windows\Cursors. You can also create cursors using the Image
editor that comes with powerbuilder. To use a custom cursor, simply supply
the path to where the cursor may be found.

Hi Rick,
Thanks very much! I created some cursors as you told,
but the problem is how can I use it? In the datawindow I
let the column's "pointer" to be my own cursor,but it had
no effect when it run and I put the mouse within it. I
write script in pbm_dwnmousemove event:
if row > 0 then
if dwo.name = "name" then
SetPointer(cross!)
end if
end if

it's all right. but the argument of setpointer() is
pointer type, how can get pointer type?

I think mouse pointer and cursor are two different things. SetPointer may
change the appearance of the pointer but not the cursor.

Hi Devang:
Then I mean pointer. How can I change the appearance
of the pointer using my own file?
