Cursor styles in OS 10.10

Installed 10.10 and the cursor now takes different shapes for different functions. Sometimes a double arrow in vertical position sometimes same in horizontal authorities at an angles sometimes a line with U (s) on top and bottom and a line thru middle. This did not happen in earlier version os OS.
Also cannot use it to click on red dot at left hand corner of windows only way to close window is to quit app.
Any way to change these things?

This happened to me today, and I finally managed to make it stop. For me it was the HP SimplePass; not sure if it's not compatible with 10 or if it was just malfunctioning. I couldn't end it from Task Manager because it would just restart itself. Eventually, I just went into the HP SimplePass program folder, hit ctrl+a, and delete. Some of the files couldn't be deleted since they were running, but as soon as I did this, my cursor stopped blinking...maybe not the most tech savvy way of dealing with it, but it worked.

Cursor style doesn't work on web forms

Hi All,
I have a FORM (6i) from which I run the report by clicking a button .
I used to set_application_property to set cursor style to BUSY untill I get report output . It works in client/server but doesn't work in Web .
Can I set this in any other way or is there any way we can show a progress bar in web FORMS without using ActiveX ? .
Thanks in Advance,
Sampath

Hi Duncan,
Thank you for your update . I didn't get "try a call to synchronize "
in your note did you want me to run the report in Synchronous mode ?
Thanks,
Sampath
Cursor Style does work on the Web (at least in 6i, there was an old bug in 4.5) - you shouldn't have to but try a call to synchronize after the set_application_property call.

Cursor style setting... Urgent please help...

Hi,
I'll have to set the cursor style to a wait_cursor on click on a toolbar button which would open a dialog. The dialog takes sometime to open as it has to fetch data from the database and display. Here is the code snippet which I have..
// get the main frame and set the cursor style to waitcursor.
getApplicationFrame().setCursor(new Cursor(Cursor.WAIT_CURSOR));
// Fetch datafrom the database.
// display information in the dialog and show dialog..
// reset the cursor style to Default.
getApplicationFrame().setCursor(new Cursor(Cursor.DEFAULT_CURSOR));
The above code doesn't seem to work. Can anyone let me know the reason why..
Thanks in advance..
Venky

Here's the methods I use to do that:
public static void setWaitCursor() {
owner.setCursor(new Cursor(Cursor.WAIT_CURSOR));
public static void setNoWaitCursor() {
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
owner.setCursor(new Cursor(Cursor.DEFAULT_CURSOR));

How to change html-css cursor style in Adobe Air?

We all know how to change cursor style in Html pages, of course using css such as,
'cursor: url("move.cur"), move'.
But when I use it in Adobe Air, it will not show the standard cursor style in browser, but the special ones in Adobe. For example, the 'move' cursor shows like a hand(the same with the move hand in Acrobat Reader), not like a crosshair.
I tried to use 'url' option in CSS, but it doesn't work in Adobe Air(I'm sure that it works in html browsers).
I am really confused. And looking forward to your solutions.

Hi flexo222,
Currently Adobe AIR does not support custom CSS cursors and only some of the "default" cursors available in CSS.
You could however use the following ActionScript workaround if you don't need a very complex behavior:
* on mouseOver have the default cursor hidden
* on mouseMove have a custom cursor drawn and positioned via ActionScript
* on mouseOut have the custom cursor hidden and the default cursor shown.
I have attached a sample that should make things clearer. Feel free to ask if there's anything not clear.
Cheers,
Mihai

Cursor Style, Forms Web Implementation 6.0

I am using the Forms server 6.0 with static HTML to display
forms over Intranet. The cursor styles through SET APPLICATION
PROPERTY builtin does not seem to change the cursor in the
browser. (Works fine when I test the form in Client/Server
environment.) Tried it with both IE 4.0 and NetScape 4.5. I did
not see in Developer 6.0 documentation that Cursor Style is not
available in Web implementation.
Has anyone used cursor styles successfully with Developer 6.0 in
static Web Implementation?
Thanks,

Set cursor style

Hi,
Using Oracle9iDS Form, How to set the cursor style when mouse on the button?
I want to set cursor style = HAND when mouse on the button and set cursor style = DEFAULT when mouse leave the button.
I'm tried to used trigger WHEN-MOUSE-MOVE and WHEN-MOUSE-LEAVE but not work.
Regards,
Ken

those trigger aren't allowed since forms 9i / 10g. You have to use PJC's for this case.
Have a look in the code-examples on OTN for forms. There are several examples for new items with new features. Maybe you only have to create a item and deploy it at PJC in your application.
Try it

Cursor changes to "Busy" when timers expires in Form

Forms 10.1.2.0.2
I created a Form with a multinline block to implement a blinking effect on certain rows depending on certain conditions
whilst using a repeating timer.
The screen is working fine so far but I am facing the problem that the cursor automatically changes its status from
normal to busy for a moment and then back from busy to normal when the timers expires.
In addition, the status bar on the console (which is the lower right working status bar) displays a "working"
condiition when the timers expires (scrolling from left to right each time the timer expires).
This leads to annoying visible effects as not only my rows are blinking fine but also the cursor does -.-
I removed the Synchronze; Built-In from the WHEN-TIMER-EXPIRED and also replaced any data processing within
the Trigger by a Null; Statement but the cursor keeps on changing its Form automatically.
I also tried to set the Cursor style to default within this Trigger but the cursor keeps on changing its Form.
Is there any way to suppress this behaviour ?

Hi,
Do you have any security programs installed on your computer? If so, temperarily turn off them to check if this issue persists.
We can also try to run Word in safe mode to test if the issue is caused to a problematic add-in. To do this, press Windows key + R, type
Winword.exe /safe in the Run dialog and press Enter.
In addition, did you installed any printer drivers? If so, some bad printer drivers may cause such issue. Please make sure you have installed the latest printer driver form the official website. If possible, we can try to uninstall the printer drivers
to check if the issue persists.

Set Busy cursor does not work for a VI that is dynamically run

The cursor functions (Set busy and unset busy) usually work well when they are used in a VI that is statically run (either a top VI or a VI called from within a VI).
However, when they are used in a VI that is openned and run dynamically (using the VI server) I get an error message:
LabVIEW: Null window.
=========================
NI-488: Wait in progress on specified input handle.
How can I solve this problem?

I have just talked to the support people. This is a recognized bug and will be corrected in the next release. They said there is no workaround at this time.
G Toolbox ($) can set cursor style, long before NI implemented this feature in LabVIEW.

Graph Cursor Controls

On the graph cursor control (the 4 sectioned diamond that appears withthe cursor legend) I'm wondering what the top and bottom diamond do if anything. The left and right ones are simple enough (forward or back one sample) but the top and bottom ones don't seem to do anything from what I can tell. Are they just for decoration?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Dan,
I never noticed that before but you're right, in a multi plot graph the up/down diamonds will attach the cursor to a different plot. I never noticed before because I usually change my cursor style so as to not show the horizontal line (just shows the vertical stripe for the cursor).

When i move the cursor into this button instead of Arrow mark i need hand i

Hi friends,
I have a button like below .
<input type=submit name="onInputProcessing(select)" value=" Material ">
When i move the cursor into this button instead of Arrow mark i need hand sign.
Moosa

hi use onmouseover event in your button and set the cursor style for button through java script
function cursor() -
> include this function between your script tag
var e = document.getElementById('select');
e.style.cursor ="hand";
call this function in your button onmouseover event

Busy cursor on Web

We are currently moving our application to the Web and find that the Busy cursor style remains an arrow - how can we change this?

Flex har
UI:
This was not AIR, it is Flex 3.
The WMODE is normal.
However I have solved my problem.
Originally I wanted to completely replace any active cursor with the busy cursor. The problem (to review) was that the orignal cursor would not go away, and would appear on top of the busy cursor, and then when moving the mouse, the busy cursor would trail after the original cursor, and the two cursors would kind of join up again. So it was really annoying.
I did find the following which sort of solved the problem:
Mouse.hide;
this.mouseChildren=false;
CursorManager.setBusyCursor();
With the above, the original cursor would go away and stay gone, *once the mouse was moved*, leaving only the busy cursor. Why it was necessary to move the mouse, I have no idea. So this as well did not completely solve the problem (but came much closer).
Here was my final solution:
First of all, I had not noticed previously that the standard busy cursor in the browser keeps the original pointer, and just offsets an hourglass to the right of that pointer by a fixed distance. Don't know why I had not notice that before. So all I had to do was
csr_busy = CursorManager.setCursor( StyleManager.getStyleDeclaration("CursorManager").getStyle("busyCursor"),1,20,0);
at one place, and then to remove it later,
CursorManager.removeCursor(csr_busy);
That's it. the '20' parameter just keeps the busy cursor (an animated clock) 20 pixels to the right of the original cursor (whatever it happens to be at the time - a pointer, a hand, etc.), which from my experience is impossible to completely remove anyway, so I don't try. But it looks good as I have it now, and contrary to what I originally thought is consistent with the Browser's own busy cursor.

Changing the cursor shape

how can i change the shape of a cursor to "hand" when the mouse rolls over specific text item. i have tried the cursor_style property but it returns only some of the cursor styles plus the are just behind the mouse clik trigeers so it chnges the shape when the mouse is cliked while i want it to change when mouse just rolls over the specific text item.as done in hyperlinks .

Which form version you are using?
Forms 6, has got cursor styles which are HAND, MOVE not documented in help.
SET_APPLICATION_PROPERTY(CURSOR_STYLE,'HAND');
