Can I change the cursor.

Hi:
Recently, on of our users asked if it would be possible to make the current context (current item where cursor is located) in the form easier to tell. Now, I believe I can accomplish this by writing probably a couple of triggers (possibly PRE-TEXT-ITEM/POST-TEXT-ITEM) at the form level and then use DISPLAY_ITEM to set the display attribute for the item.
My question is: Is it possible to set some registry or Windows property to change the appearance of the cursor?
If the answer is no, has anyone out there implemented the code needed to accomplish this and would you be willing to share it. We are still in Client/Server, no java yet.
Thanks in advance,
Thomas

Torsten,
I don't want to leave fields red when you leave them -- the color is supposed to change back to normal when user leaves the field. But I have a WVI trigger that re-validates, and if it is not valid, turns it back to red. If I have a pair or more fields that are edited together (in a WVR trigger), I allow user to leave the first field and go to the next in the pair, but if user leaves the record, validation tries again and the field turns red again. This method works quite well for our needs.
I think there is a little bit of additional code necessary, like storing the old
background for the current item somewhere...You DON'T need to store it. Setting the Displayitem NULL effectively returns the item back to its defined attributes.
Kevin,
I tried doing without the PTI, and using WNII only. BUT--that doesn't work in a multi-record scrolling block. You have to store the record of the item, and navigate back to the original record number, and if the record has scrolled out of view, you have to scroll the records to the prior view, then back to the current view. The PTI method requires one line of code, and the other requires dozens.

Do you want to change the look for aesthetic reasons, or to make the cursor easier to see?
As X423424X indicates, you can use System Preferences to change the size.
You can also install a utility such as MouseLocator to aid in making your cursor easier to find

I am on a Mac and just upgraded to Firefox 8. The cursor has become a permanent open hand and I can't click on links or CoolPreviews anymore. How can I change the cursor back to hand with pointed finger or arrow?

Upgraded from Firefox 3.6 to 8 on Mac OS X
Firefox crashed 3 x upon new upgrade and cursor is now a permanent open hand making it difficult to access links and CoolPreviews.
I want to change this or overwrite the new Firefox with my old one which was slow but at least worked.
I will do this through Time Machine.,
Any advice?

How can I change the colour of the cursor in a spry menu?

Hi there,
I am trying to change the cursor on my horizontal drop down menu as it doesn't go with the rest of my design.
I need the cursor to be #544107 on off state and then #835e1c on hover state. Is this possible? I've tried various things but nothing has worked for me.

Hi M,
in addition, you only can use programs "outside" of your DW. I suggest to "Google" for them, as I did and found for example this:

Interactive SVG : Can't change the mouse cursor to pointer

you can use css to change the cursor in the init function with
sym.$("selectedPartTxt").css({'cursor':'cursormode'});
change cursormode to one of these:

add this to the element that needs the cursor asshown above (element chosen from edgecommmons example).

How can I change the tag name in cursor statement?

Hi
I have two tables: TableA and TableB. I want generate a XML file using XSU12 from these two tables, the XML structure like:
<ROWSETA>
<ROWA num="1">
<A1></A1>
<A2></A2>
<A3>
<A3_ROW num="1">
<B1></B1>
<B2></B2>
</A3_ROW>
<A3_ROW num="2">
<B1></B1>
<B2></B2>
</A3_ROW>
</A3>
</ROWA>
</ROWSETA>
How can I change the tag name and attribute for "A3_ROW"?
Thanks in advance!
null

In short, you can't.
You can use the column alias as you're already doing to change the name of the "A3" part of "A3_ROW" but you cannot change the "_ROW" part of "A3_ROW". This is added automatically.
You can combine the results of XSU with an XSLT stylesheet (made very simple if you're using XSU by working with Oracle XSQL Pages) to change the name of any element or completely restructure the XML output into a target XML, HTML, or text format.

How can i change the color of the graph in agreement of the program's condition

Hi,
I am using labview 5.1 in my graduation's project final. (sorry by my english, but i am ina hurry)
How can i change the color of the graph in agreement of the program's condition?
I am developing a VI to control the temperature of termistors,but i have another sensor too.
In a graph i have the situation of the termistors,but i want to change the color of the graph when the sensor is active.
Thanks a lot
Rafael Wajnsztajn - Brasil

To change the color of the line itself, you can use the attribute Plot>>Plot Color.
To change the color of the points, you can use the attribute Cursor>>Cursor Color.
To select the color, you should have a color box constant inside the Numeric>>Additional Numeric Constants palette.
This is all in LV 7.0. I'm not sure how it similar it is in 5.1.
One important thing is to place the attribute node inside a case structure which will execute only when your condition has been filled.
If this didn't help you, I suggest you post the relevant piece of code, or at least an image of it (no BMPs, please).

How do i change the cursor on a jtable header when clicked for sorting?

here is my question, how do i change the cursor on a jtable header when I click the header for sorting?
I think it is suppose to be in the fragment of code where the header listener is implemented for sorting, but I'm not quite sure what is the exact component that holds everything so that i can change the cursor...
below is what I've tried, but it doesn't seem to work... thank you
public void addMouseListenerToHeaderInTable(JTable table) {
final TableSorter sorter = this;
final JTable tableView = table;
tableView.setColumnSelectionAllowed(false);
MouseAdapter listMouseListener = new
MouseAdapter() {
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
TableColumnModel columnModel =
tableView.getColumnModel();
int viewColumn =
columnModel.getColumnIndexAtX(e.getX());
int column =
tableView.convertColumnIndexToModel
(viewColumn);
System.out.println("column = "+column);
if (e.getClickCount() == 1 && column != -1) {
System.out.println("Sorting ...");
Cursor oldCursor =
tableView.getRootPane().getCursor();
System.out.println("oldCursor.getType()
= "+oldCursor.getType());
if (oldCursor.getType() !=
Cursor.WAIT_CURSOR){
JComponent parentPane =
tableView.getRootPane();
parentPane.getContentPane().setCursor
(new Cursor(Cursor.WAIT_CURSOR));
parentPane.setCursor(new Cursor
(Cursor.WAIT_CURSOR));
Cursor newCursor =
parentPane.getCursor();
System.out.println("newCursor.getType
() = "+newCursor.getType());
int shiftPressed = e.getModifiers(
&InputEvent.SHIFT_MASK;
boolean ascending = (shiftPressed == 0);
//System.out.println("tableView.getRootPane()
is "+tableView.getRootPane().getRootPane());
sorter.sortByColumn(column, ascending);
tableView.getRootPane().setCursor(new Cursor
(Cursor.DEFAULT_CURSOR));
//System.out.println("Done sorting");
JTableHeader th = tableView.getTableHeader();
th.addMouseListener(listMouseListener);
}

Hi,
Try setting the cursor for the table header.
table.getHeader().setCursor(Wait_Cursor);

Changing the cursor to the hourglass. Any ideas?

I posted this in the Actionscript 3 Forum so I'm sorry about
the double post.
I've got a frame in my Flash AIR app that loads some data and
I'd like to change the cursor to the hourglass in Windows (watch on
the Mac) while the data loads. Anyone have any ideas? It seems like
it should be simple, but I just can't seem to find a solution for
it.

Yeah, you can't do that. This is a top request of mine, glad
to see I'm not alone. File an Enhancement Request -- see me
signature.
The workaround is to attach a custom graphic within Flash (or
your HTML app) to the mouse location. The limitation of course is
that this isn't system level, so you need to rely on custom
graphics, and the graphic obviously won't be able to go outside the
Flash/app frame. You can hide the mouse, thus effectively replacing
the mouse cursor with your custom graphic, but I'd do that with
caution: poor app performance or hangs will make the user think
their mouse is hanging, which is a really bad feeling, and there
are some other situations that can get hairy (mouse stays hidden
outside of the app frame, sometimes, so cursor has completely
disappeared!) For an hourglass or similar it makes sense to just
attach right beside the cursor.
Marco, the stopwatch you've seen is probably the one used in
the Flex framework. It uses the custom attached graphic
workaround.

Is there a way to change the cursor hotspot systemwide on Mountain Lion?

Hello community.
Is there a way to change the cursor hotspot on Mountain Lion, systemwide?
Like editing the original cursor file (or downloading one) and replacing the original one?
Reason: when I enlarge the arrow, the "absoulute" tip (top of the white outline) gets distant from the internal tip (top of the black core), so sometimes the white outline needs to stick out if I want to click the approprate area - because the hotspot is on the internal tip. To me it's counter-intuitive. I would prefer to have the hotspot on the absolute edge of the cursor (tip of the white outline). This is not debatable - this is my private preference, and I've read today that it's not only mine - there is a number of users who want the same.
I know it's always been like this on Macs, so please avoid questions like "why to you want that", answers like "get used to it" or any kind of hostility, for these are useless. The quiestion is how can I change it, if possible.
Thanx guys!

I don't know how you get to the System folder in Mavericks; and even if I found the folder with the alternative cursors in it, I would have no way of switching to any of them. The designers have obviously not anticipated that anyone would wish to do this.
The System Preferences has an adjustment under Accessibilty which allows the user to change the size of the cursor, but nothing else.
So I guess that there is no way to make the change without actually re-engineering the System somehow.
If someone can find a way, I will be most pleased to be enlightened; only please make the directions explicit.

How can i change the settings of play/pause in Elements 13?

Hello!
How can i change the settings of play/pause in Elements 13? I definitely need cursor back to the "start play" point each time i hit stop (spacebar), like it works in Sony Vegas or in most of audio editing software. Can somebody help?
Thanks!

invasion 21
The following is a copy of the reply that I posted to your question earlier today in the Adobe Premiere Pro Forum
invasion21
You are in the Adobe Premiere Pro Forum. What is your program? Is that Premiere Elements 13? If so, you are in the wrong forum where
Premiere Pro answers may not be appropriate for your Premiere Elements (any version) question.
You are not going to find what you are looking for in Premiere Elements preference settings.
You write
I WANT it playhead jump back to start play position, when i hit spacebar for pause.
You can maneuver yourself into that through Edit Menu/Keyboard Customization/Applications/ and its Help category which by
default shows
Go to Timeline/Clip Start, using Home
and
Play/Pause Toggle, using Space
But, you may find it is best to leave well enough alone. Explore and experiment with changing the keyboard shortcuts for the commands and decide what works for you.

Changing the Cursor Width

Hai all,
I have an application in which I am not able to see the Keyboard cursor clearly. Can anyone help me in increasing the Keyboard Cursor width through Oracle Forms 6i.
Thanks....

Hi,
as far as I know, this is not possible. On teh Web chances would be to write a PJC that changes the cursor, but this too is more a work around than a feature.
