Changing console mouse cursor

I have 2 things that I haven't been able to fix/configure since my switch to a CLI only system:
1. I use gpm but I can't ffs find how (or if) I could change that block mouse cursor to a normal arrow (the CLI one..like FreeBSD has)
2. Same problem with links -g, the cursor is fine there (arrow) but it's WAAAAY to big. How could I change its size?
Thanks in advance.

How to change the mouse cursor icon type when mouse moves out of client area ( propertysheet) WTL?

I got stuck with an issue in property sheet .I want to load different cursor when the mouse position is within the client area and load another when moves out of the client area.
In the porpetysheet I added four page. In the first page when I click next I am loading cursor of IDC_WAIT type and loading IDC_ARROW when the mouse moves out of the client area.
In the page class I triggered the event for WM_MOUSEMOVE as follow:
MESSAGE_HANDLER(WM_MOUSEMOVE, OnMouseMove)
LRESULT OnMouseMove(UINT /*uMsg*/, WPARAM /*wParam*/, LPARAM /*lParam*/, BOOL& /*bHandled*/)
if(TRUE == m_bIsNextBtnClicked)
::SetCursor(LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_WAIT));
else
::SetCursor(LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_ARROW));
return TRUE;
This event is getting triggered and absolutely had no issue with this. Similarly I tried adding `MESSAGE_HANDLER(WM_MOUSELEAVE, OnMouseLeave)` this event making an assumption that this will get triggered if the mouse moves out of the client area, but
this event did not get triggered at all.If this is not the mouse event to be triggered for mouseleave which event should I trigger?
LRESULT OnMouseLeave(UINT /*uMsg*/, WPARAM /*wParam*/, LPARAM /*lParam*/, BOOL& /*bHandled*/)
::SetCursor(LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_ARROW));
return TRUE;
Now when I click Next button , **I was actually calling a function which is taking sometime to return** . Before to this function I am loading IDC_WAIT cursor i.e.,
`::SetCursor(LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_WAIT));` .
Now when move the mouse cursor on to the non-client area I want to load IDC_ARROW cursor i.e.,
::SetCursor(LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_ARROW));
When the moves on to the non-client area I am handling the mouse event in sheet derived class as follows,
MESSAGE_HANDLER(WM_NCMOUSEMOVE, OnNCMouseMove)
LRESULT OnNCMouseMove(UINT /*uMsg*/, WPARAM /*wParam*/, LPARAM /*lParam*/, BOOL& /*bHandled*/)
::SetCursor(LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_ARROW));
return 0;
This event is not getting triggered until unless the function in the Next button event is executed.
I want both of them to be done in parallel i.e, click Next button now hover mouse on the client area, Busy icon should come and when mouse moves out of the client area then IDC_ARROW icon should come.
LRESULT OnWizardNext()
::SetCursor(LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_WAIT));
m_bIsNextBtnIsClicked = TRUE;
BOOL bRet = MyFun();
m_bIsNextBtnIsClicked = FALSE;
//Until this function(MyFun()) is executed **WM_NCMOUSEMOVE**
//event is not getting triggered.But this event should get triggered and I
//should be able to see the change of cursor within and out of client area.
Can anyone kindly help me to solve this issue.

How to change my mouse cursor?

So it seems that my cursor is too small for easy location on my large screens. Is there any way to change it to be larger or more noticable like on a Windows system?

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

Hi,
Write a mouse listener to ur label like this. When mouse enter the lable region what ever the cursor u wish to give in the mouseentered region that will appear.
Use the follwing code:
jlabel.addMouseListener(this);
     public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent arg0) {
     public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent arg0) {
          setCursor(Cursor.getPredefinedCursor (Cursor.HAND_CURSOR));
     public void mouseExited(MouseEvent arg0) {
          setCursor(Cursor.getPredefinedCursor(Cursor.DEFAULT_CURSOR));
     public void mousePressed(MouseEvent arg0) {

     public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent arg0) {
     }

Change mouse cursor over graph cursor.

Is there a way to change the mouse cursor as it moves over graph cursors when using trackmode TrackDragCursor? To indicate that you can position the cursor.

You could accomplish this with the graph's CursorMouseMove event. For example, create a new project with the NI Measurement Studio AppWizard and follow these steps:
Add a graph to the dialog. Right-click on the graph in the dialog editor, click "Class Wizard ...", click the Member Variables tab and add a member variable for the graph called m_graph. Click OK.
Right-click on the graph in the dialog editor and click on "Events ...". Add an event handler for CursorMouseMove called OnCursorMouseMove and add an event handler for PlotAreaMouseMove called OnPlotAreaMouseMove. Click OK.
Go to the header file for your dialog class and add this to the bottom of the class declaration:
private:
bool m_cursorChanged;
HCURSOR m_defaultCursor;
HCURSOR m_crossCursor;
Go to the source file for your dialog class and add this to the end of the
OnInitDialog method:
m_graph.TrackMode = CNiGraph::TrackAllEvents;
m_graph.Cursors.Add();
m_cursorChanged = false;
m_defaultCursor = ::LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_ARROW);
m_crossCursor = ::LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_CROSS);
Add this to your CursorMouseMove event hander:
if (!m_cursorChanged)
:etCursor(m_crossCursor);
m_cursorChanged = false;
Add this to your PlotAreaMouseMove event handler:
if (m_cursorChanged)
:etCursor(m_defaultCursor);
m_cursorChanged = true;
Run the application. You should see that the mouse cursor changes to a cross when you mouse over the cursor.
Hope this helps.

[Solved] Change mouse cursor in Awesome.

I can't change the mouse cursor in Awesome. I added "Xcursor.theme: aero-drop" in my .Xdefaults and "xrdb ~/.Xdefaults" in .xinitrc, but the cursor is still the default black one. I searched everywhere and I couldn't find how to change it. Can you give me a hand? Thanks.

It looks like the package in aur is messed up, It isn't extracting the themes and these are dead links to the tar.gz's.
navi>> sudo pacman -Ql xcursor-aero <<~
xcursor-aero /usr/
xcursor-aero /usr/share/
xcursor-aero /usr/share/icons/
xcursor-aero /usr/share/icons/aero-drop.tar.gz
xcursor-aero /usr/share/icons/aero-extra-large-drop.tar.gz
xcursor-aero /usr/share/icons/aero-extra-large.tar.gz
xcursor-aero /usr/share/icons/aero-large-drop.tar.gz
xcursor-aero /usr/share/icons/aero-large.tar.gz
xcursor-aero /usr/share/icons/aero.tar.gz
you could manually extract the aero-drop.tar.gz into your ~/.icons folder and it should work.

IDCS5 Win - changing mouse cursor

At times I have code that processes a lot of data in ways that are not amenable to progress bars (for example, saving a single, large file to disk). During those times I would like to change the cursor from its standard arrow to another standard such as an hourglass. I see lots of general documentation on changing cursors that are specially made, but nothing that describes the process for changing from one standard cursor shape to another. Nor is there any sample code/snippets that demonstrate the procedure, as far as I could find. Does anyone have a suggestion where to look or what boss to use to change a mouse cursor from one icon to another?
TIA!
John

I took a quick look at the header file and it all seems waay too simple. Are you sure you're talking InDesign here? (grin).
Thanks Dirk. This is what I was looking for.

Change Mouse Cursor Inside JTextPane

Hello Everyone,
I am trying to change the mouse cursor of a specific text of a JTextPane to:
setCursor(Cursor.getPredefinedCursor(Cursor.HAND_CURSOR));This specific text is a hyperlink which its color is blue and it is underlined, so I want to have the mouse cursor changed to make clearer that you can click on it.
I thought about trying to track the mouse position inside the JTextPane until it reachs the text position but I am not aware of any class that provides this feature. Does anyone know or have another ideia?
Any help is appreciated,
Thanks in advance
Edited by: ZeroTodd on Aug 10, 2010 6:26 AM

This specific text is a hyperlink which its color is blue and it is underlined, so I want to have the mouse cursor changed to make clearer that you can click on it.That's the default behavior (in the default Metal LaF, at least) when you setEditable(false). And IMO it doesn't make much sense to change the cursor or allow hyperlink navigation when the text pane is editable.

Showing a "Please wait..." window / Changing mouse cursor to hourglass

Can one of the following be done using javascript:
1) Show a "Please wait" window (when using synchronous SOAP requests) with the ability to "hide" it
2) Change the mouse cursor to hourglass
I went over the JS API and found nothing, any ideas?

Mouse Cursor Changing and Layered Panes

In our program when you click on some buttons it should change the mouse cursor to a different thing depending on what button was pushed (zoom in, zoom out, etc...) However, in certain applications in our program when we are utilizing layered panes, the mouse cursor fails to change. Is there any particular reason for this? Thanks

Here's some of the code that changes the mouse cursor:
currentAction = e.getActionCommand();
                Toolkit tk = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();
                ImageIcon icon = (ImageIcon)datatable.get(currentAction);
                if (icon != null)
                    setCursor( tk.createCustomCursor( icon.getImage(), new Point(0,0), currentAction)); Here's the code that sets up the layered pane:
public void buildFramePanel(JInternalFrame owner, JComponent bg, JComponent fg){
    if (bg != null && fg != null){
      if(bg==fg){
        frame.setContentPane(bg); //lo layer
      } else{
        frame.setContentPane(bg); //lo layer
        fg.setBounds(0, 0, fg.getWidth(), fg.getHeight());
        fg.setOpaque(false);
        fg.setVisible(true);
        fg.repaint();
        frame.getLayeredPane().add(fg, JLayeredPane.PALETTE_LAYER);//hi layer
}Is there anything going on here that would make these uncompatible? I can't really post any more code than that cause our prog is ridiculously huge.
