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.

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

I want change the mouse cursor image when cursor come on the label

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) {
Rgds,
Kumar.
     public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent arg0) {
     }

Change the mouse icon.

Hi all I need to change the mouse icon.
I'm using:
setCursor(Cursor.WAIT_CURSOR);
buet the problem is that this only works inside the application. If the mouse cursors does out of the application (f.e. to the windows desk) the mouse changes into the typical arrow icon.
What I need is the mouse icon to remain as a sand-watch icon till some opperations are done in the application.
Thanks in advance.
Dani.

I believe this behaviour is controlled by the operating system. This is part of the pre-emptive multi-tasking system, the principle being that one busy application should not disrupt the rest of the OS (compare with Win 3.1).
So I don't think you can do that, and even if you can, you probably shouldn't

My mini loses the mouse cursor when it goes to sleep

Since I upgraded to OS X 10.7, my MAC mini loses the mouse curson when it goes to sleep. I am able to use the mouse to "awaken" the system and get the home screen, but the system will not display the mouse cursor. The only thing thast will recover the mouse cursor is to reboot the syste,.

going to sleep means disabling the network connection to save power
so what you're asking is not really possible
unless you can change what going to sleep mean on your computer
in the power saving settings you may be able to set going to sleep to just turn off your monitor
because thats pretty much the only thing that can go to sleep if you still wish to use it over wifi

The mouse cursor brush shape disappear after 120px.

I choose a round brush, at 90px, the mouse cursor round brush is perfect, but as I increase the brush size, the cursor showing the round brush shape start to desintegrate as I increase the size of the brush.
I have PS cs4 and PS cs6, in both version I have the same problem, so I'm thinking is the graphic card? but I don't know what settings to change.
Thanks.

Make sense, I upgraded the drivers for the GPU, and restored those other setting back how they were before and the problem is fixed.
Of course GeForce software comes with some crap that get install in my machine, and add a bunch of icon and apps in the browser search bar, I already uninstalled, I guess Nvidia need to make some money, poor guys.
Thanks.
Good memories from, Brussels, Antwerp and Bruges!!!!

Changing the mouse

I want to be able to control the appearance of the mouse after certain events. Catching these events is not a problem, but I need to find out how I can access and change the mouse.

Use setCursor(Cursor)

On startup Mac Pro I get a blue screen and a cursor on the upper left. The mouse cursor shows up independently. Is it likely a video card failure?

I managed to boot the computer and get the desktop to show. I now have a "repaired" computer. There are several problems that have cropped up. One is that I can only start up now in Safe Boot mode. Is there a way to turn it off? Also, I do not have a sound list, so I can't access anything requiring audio. Google Chrome only shows up as a white screen. Pictures that loaded before don't load in browsers, etc. Any suggestions? I figure I should reinstall Mac OS Lion for starts, maybe even do a mirror backup and reformat the drive. I think this drive has turned into scrambled eggs...what a headache!

Get rid of the mouse cursor when on desktop touch devices

Hi there,
I'm using sap.ui.commons controls to build my application. However, this application will sometimes be used on touch devices like large touch screen HDTV connected to a desktop Windows PC.
When clicking on a button, the button gets focussed. However, as clicking on a control moves the mouse cursor, too, the button gets a mouse over look and feel and the focus style applied.
Is there a way to disable the mouse over events and style sheets for desktop controls in an easy way? I want to get a similar behaviour like using an application on a device without a pointer (like a tablet or smartphone). No mouse over, no focus.
Regards
Tobias

Hey Tobias,
have a look at this Thread: javascript - Disable hover effects on mobile browsers - Stack Overflow
It helped me and might contain a solution to your problem as well!

Getting the name of the window under the mouse cursor

Hello All
Is there a way to receive a window name of the window under the mouse cursor? All windows in interest are LV windows, and all of them works separatelly. After the mouse click I would like to get the window name.
The reaso nfor asking is that I have a sequence of setting of different windows. I need to create a doccumentation and I need all windows front panels send to MS Word.
I thought that my application can read the window names and by using the LVwutil32 get the front pannels of the windows and send them to MS Word.
Problem is that in the library I do not have a function like "Window on Top.vi" or something like that.
Anyways, the problem for me now is how to get an active (most top) window
name?
thanks
Pawel

Hi Pawel,
I found the following VI in my "trunk" that I made a while ago (written in LV6.0.2). It returns the active VI (and thereby) the Window name. Mayby you have some use of it, but I believe this is what you want. Only works for Windows though.

Why does the mouse cursor move to away from the currrent application without the mouse being moved

the mouse cursor moves away from the current application without the mouse having been moved - this started with the new version - re-installing Firefox makes the problem go away for a short period - re-installing is not a solution
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== a few days after installing 3.6.3

Hello Jim.
It's probably one of three things:
#your mouse is getting old (this behavior is common in old optical mouses);
#you have software that is making your mouse cursor behave unexpectedly (I know of an option in Windows that will automatically move your mouse to windows buttons...);
#or you may be having a problem with some extension or plugin that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
