How to change 'cursor'

Is there a way to change the 'cursor' so that it is always a 'hand' or something else that is easier to see - this is for one of the users that I support. They're looking for the cursor to always be this way, no matter what (ever, regardless). I have not been able to find this feature and other Adobe users I have talked to haven't found anything like it either.

Hi, showing some messages when moving over a button can be done by standard-functionality useing property "tooltip-text" for the button.
If you want your own bean start with overwriting the class oracle.forms.ui.VButton, use method with code similar to the following
protected void processMouseEvent(MouseEvent p0)
    if ((p0.getID()==MouseEvent.MOUSE_ENTERED) && this.isEnabled())
      // Add your code for changing cursor here
      super.processMouseEvent(p0);
    } else if ((p0.getID()==MouseEvent.MOUSE_EXITED) && this.isEnabled())
      // Add your code for changing cursor here
      super.processMouseEvent(p0);
    } else
      super.processMouseEvent(p0);
}hope this helps

Hi,
I try to change cursor to WAIT when client open a new dialog, which it tell user the program was running to ready display new dialog.
My code was like the following
scene.setCursor(Cursor.WAIT);
someclass.showMyDialog(); // The dialog was a new stage with StageStyle.UTILITY style
scene.setCursor(Cursor.DEFAULT);
But the cursor didn't be changed, I didn't know it why? Anybody know it? thank in advance!
I had search the google, and didn't find the perfect answer, most of they was like to use setCursor(Cursor.WAIT) mode.
the current ENV in my host was: windows 7 and Java

If you have a long running process ("long" means anything the user will notice), you need to run it in a thread other than the JavaFX Application Thread. In other words, you need to change the cursor to the wait cursor on the FX Application Thread, launch a user-defined thread for your long running process (connecting to the database), and once that thread is complete, show the dialog and change the cursor back on the FX Application Thread again. If you try to do everything on the FX Application Thread, you'll likely block that thread and prevent any changes from being visible to the user until the long process is complete (so you'll never see the wait cursor).
All that said, and as jsmith said, there are some bugs in JavaFX 2.2 with the appearance of the cursor. So on my system (Mac OS X 10.7.5) the "correct" behavior is only observed with JavaFX 8.
This is an example of doing things wrong. Here I don't see any change to the cursor, even on JavaFX 8:
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.event.ActionEvent;
import javafx.event.EventHandler;
import javafx.scene.Cursor;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.Button;
import javafx.scene.layout.BorderPane;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class WaitCursorDemo extends Application {
@Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
    final BorderPane root = new BorderPane();
    final Scene scene = new Scene(root, 600, 400);
    Button button = new Button("Do something time-consuming");
    button.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
      @Override
      public void handle(ActionEvent event) {
        System.out.println("Starting...");
        scene.setCursor(Cursor.WAIT);
        try {
          Thread.sleep(2000);
        } catch (InterruptedException exc) {
          exc.printStackTrace();
        scene.setCursor(Cursor.DEFAULT);
        System.out.println("Done");
    root.setBottom(button);
    primaryStage.setScene(scene);
    primaryStage.show();
public static void main(String[] args) {
    launch(args);
}This works on JavaFX 8: after pressing the button I see the wait cursor for two seconds, then it reverts to the default cursor.
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.concurrent.Task;
import javafx.concurrent.WorkerStateEvent;
import javafx.event.ActionEvent;
import javafx.event.EventHandler;
import javafx.scene.Cursor;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.Button;
import javafx.scene.layout.BorderPane;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class WaitCursorDemo extends Application {
@Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
    final BorderPane root = new BorderPane();
    final Scene scene = new Scene(root, 600, 400);
    Button button = new Button("Do something time-consuming");
    button.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
      @Override
      public void handle(ActionEvent event) {
        System.out.println("Starting...");
        scene.setCursor(Cursor.WAIT);
        Task<Void> task = new Task<Void>() {
          @Override
          protected Void call() throws Exception {
            try {
              Thread.sleep(2000);
            } catch (InterruptedException exc) {
              exc.printStackTrace();
            return null;
        task.setOnSucceeded(new EventHandler<WorkerStateEvent>() {
          @Override
          public void handle(WorkerStateEvent event) {
            scene.setCursor(Cursor.DEFAULT);
            System.out.println("Done");
            // Display your dialog now you have the data from the database...
        new Thread(task).start();
    root.setBottom(button);
    primaryStage.setScene(scene);
    primaryStage.show();
public static void main(String[] args) {
    launch(args);
}

Drag&Drop - how to change cursor?

Hi,
I know how to use Drag&Drop but I have two problems:
1. I would like to have my icon displayed right next to the system's default cursor during dnd operation instead of displaying my icon only. How can I achieve this?
2. when I use my own image as cursor during dnd operation, the size of the cursor is incorrect. It's supposed to have 24x24 pixels but it gets displayed in a different size. The ImageIcon still has 24x24 pixels, but the cursor is wrong.
Thanks a lot!
Regards,
Ren�
ImageIcon copyIcon = new ImageIcon("c:\\tmp\\drag_copy.gif");
System.err.println(copyIcon.getIconWidth() + "; " + copyIcon.getIconHeight());
copyCursor = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createCustomCursor(
copyIcon.getImage(), new java.awt.Point(0, 0), "I30COPY");
e.startDrag(copyCursor, new StringSelection("DRAGITEM"), this);

I just found a solution right here:

How to change cursor size in InDesign?

My InDesign cursor suddenly became huge after the previous before last update. I can't find any settings in preferences, but probably I'm looking in the wrong place.

You can colorize non-transparent grayscale images or bitmap mode images either by selectiing them with the direct select tool and chhosing a swatch for the fil color, or by dragging the swatch and dropping it on the image.

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

Changing cursor apperiance..How?

I'm working on some school project and I have three frames. I need to change cursor apperiance while it's over those three internal frames. I know how to handle listeners, and all other stuff I need just I cann't find any way to setup cursor apperiance...I was looking in swing but nothing..or my docs are not good...

All descendents of Component inherit setCursor. Use it as follows:
component.setCursor(new Cursor(Cursor.WAIT_CURSOR));

How to change color of the caret (text cursor) in a TLFTextField used for input.

This might be a very simple Question, but I have looked and searched everywhere and don't find how to change the color of the caret in a input TextField.
any ideas?
Thank you in forward.

This was driving me crazy, too--and the previous answers did not seem to work. I eventually found that if I click one of the data symbols in the graph in exactly the right spot (see below), it selects only the data symbols and not the line. I can tell this because the little selection dots will be around each data symbol, but no selection dots will be on the line between the data symbols - like the graphic in Yvan's answer. Then and only then will the color symbol in the tool bar show the color of the data symbol, instead of the color of the line. I believe that you then have to first click on the color swatch in the toolbar and then select your color (or choose Show Colors and select from the color tool). Just clicking a color in the crayon box, for example, did not seem to work unless I first clicked on the color swatch in the toolbar, then clicked Show Colors on that dropdown, and +only then+ clicked the crayon or whatever.
_The right spot to click_ seems to be just above the exact center of the data symbol, at least for the diamond shape symbol that I prefer. Sometimes it takes several tries to hit the right spot. If I miss it, the whole line is selected, which is indicated by the little selection dots on the line, between the data symbols. When I click the right spot, those selection dots go away, leaving only the data symbols selected. Then I can change the color, as described above.
I hope this works for you too.

How can I change cursor while it does something?

hi, all
following code dosen't change current cursor.
I want to change cursor to wait_cursor while it opens file,
but, it doesn't change cursor at all.
What's problem?
class aClass extends JFrame{
btOpen.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
int returnVal = jfcFileDialog.showOpenDialog(SourceEditor.this);
if (returnVal == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) {
openedFile = jfcFileDialog.getSelectedFile();
setCursor( Cursor.getPredefinedCursor(Cursor.WAIT_CURSOR));
//read openedFile and return text
String fileContent=readSourceFile();
setCursor( Cursor.getPredefinedCursorCursor.DEFAULT_CURSOR));
thank you.

I finally figured it out. You have to set the cursor on the JFrame's GlassPane. The solution was alluded to in the Evaluation section of a couple of bug reports:
http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4357573.html
http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4320939.html
There is also some discussion about this in various Forum threads. (Search for topics using "+getGlassPane +setCursor".)
My corrected code follows. With this method, you don't even need to start up a secondary thread to get the cursor to change. I do, however, because I have other UI elements that I want to be updated (such as a sort indicator on my column headings.) I also reduce the priority of the sort thread a bit so my UI gets priority.
Note that I removed the code that tries to remember the original cursor, since, with all the asynchronous execution going on, the wait cursor could actually be the frame's current cursor when this gets executed. If you're not doing a sub-thread as I am, you don't have to worry about this. Also, I have extended JFrame to JFrameBase to handle threading issues and consolidate redundant code (among other things not pictured here). The JFrameBase class definition follows the example code.
Component lTopLevelComponent = JTableSortable.this.getTopLevelAncestor();
final JFrameBase lFrame;
if ( lTopLevelComponent instanceof JFrameBase )
    lFrame = (JFrameBase)lTopLevelComponent;
    lFrame.setFrameCursor( Cursor.getPredefinedCursor( Cursor.WAIT_CURSOR ) );
else
    lFrame = null;
Thread lSortThread = new Thread( "JTableSortable" ) {
    public void run()
        ((SortableTableModel)lModel).sortByColumn( lSortCol, lAscending );
        if ( lFrame != null )
            lFrame.setFrameCursor( Cursor.getPredefinedCursor( Cursor.DEFAULT_CURSOR ) );
lSortThread.setPriority( Math.max( Thread.MIN_PRIORITY, Thread.currentThread().getPriority() - 1 ) );
lSortThread.start();
public class JFrameBase extends JFrame {
public void setFrameCursor( final Cursor aCursor )
    SwingUtilities.invokeLater( new Runnable() {
        public void run()
            getGlassPane().setCursor( aCursor );
            getGlassPane().setVisible( true );

How to change external display resolution WITHOUT clicking "CONFIRM"?

I have a somewhat unusual situation. My MacBook laptop is actually now a ModBook (a pen-tablet computer), and as such I no longer have a trackpad attached to it. All of my inputs are via the stylus, tapping directly on the built-in display.
This works perfectly fine, except when I need to give presentations on an LCD projector (which is quite often lately). I like to use the projector as an external monitor, so that I can run the Keynote presentation on it while using my laptop screen as the presenter's display, with the upcoming slide, etc. If the projector doesn't give me an ideal native display option (sometimes, the aspect ratio for the 3 or 4 resolutions available in the Displays drop-down in the menubar turn out to be stretched or squeezed), then I, naturally, have to open the Display System Preferences and try out different resolutions.
The problem is, since my stylus only interacts by clicking directly on the built-in-display, I have no way of moving the cursor over to the external display when the dialog box with the "Click here to confirm change/You have 15 seconds..." message appears. So I can never click it ... so I can never confirm the new settings.
The workarounds I've used so far are:
- Mirror displays (not ideal, as I need the presenter preview of the next slide)
- borrow a mouse from someone (usually from a Windows desktop, frankly) and plug that in to briefly mouse over and click the confirm button
I'd love to find a software workaround that allows me to NOT mirror displays and also doesn't require me to carry around a mouse all the time (my laptop bag is already overstuffed...).
Thanks.
