How to change mouse pointers programmat​ically

Normally when a VI is run, mouse pointer changes to 'Hand Pointer'.Is it possible to make it 'Arrow pointer' wherever no buttons are there and if buttons are there change mouse to 'Hand Pointer'.
Thanks

Hi,
if you use LV 7 have a look at the cursors palette under application control (I don't know the exact English names because I'm using the German version; it may be an advanced feature which is not available in all LV versions).
Together with a dynamic event you could implement your desired behaviour maybe (it's a good idea though; the hand pointer is pretty ugly as standard mouse pointer if there's no interactive element).
Cheers,
Carsten

  • How to change default alerts in iCal?

    Hello.
    Every time you add a new event in iCal, the Info panel of the event contains a series of default alerts that you may want to add to it. However, all of them are useless to me (e.g.: "Send email to <my address> 4 days after), so I need to manually edit them event by event. Anybody knows how to change them? I have already inspected all the plist files related to ical, and looked inside the ical package content, but I found no indication of where to change these values. Using iCal version 5.0.2
    Thanks,
    l

    John: Thank you, this is exactly what I wanted. I was indeed inspecting the plist with bbedit, but what I did not realize is that the file has some parts which are binary, so I could not see the PersistentMenu-lastUsedAlarms part by using a text editor. I opened it with Xcode and I did find what you were saying, and erased all the junk that was in there. In fact, the issue I had was also described here:
    http://newsgroups.derkeiler.com/Archive/Uk/uk.comp.sys.mac/2010-06/msg02349.html
    For some reason, it looks like after some upgrade the program adds were some positive values in the plist and I was stuck with default alarms that were set *after* the events I wanted to set an alarm for.
    I did what you suggested, then added by hand new values to the PersistentMenu part of the plist, and I am now happy.
    For everybody's information, to know what I did, it is enough to know to add Dictionary items to the  PersistentMenu-lastUsedAlarms, with 3 fields:
    -- AlarmTypeKey (this determines if you want a sound, or else an email, or else the other default alarm type keys. For example, sending an email is a Number, value 4; having a message with sound is a Number, value 3)
    -- AlarmDurationKey: This is a Number, in seconds, that determines when you want your alarm to trigger. E.g: -172800 will be two days before. Must be negative for "before", of course)
    -- AlarmParameterKey: This is a String, where you store the value that you want the alarm to have. For example, if you want an email to be sent, the AlarmTypeKey will be 4, as explained above, and this field will contain your email address. Instead, if you want the alarm to be a sound, the AlarmTypeKey will be 3 and this field will have the name of the sound you want (e.g., Basso).
    That's it. Thanks a lot for the solution!

  • How to change mouse-over label for a mx:CandleStickChart?

    I have an <mx:CandleStickChart .../> graph and want to change the default
    labels on the mouse-over window.  For example by default, the mouse-over window displays:
      line1: some label
      line2: open: #1
      line3: close: #2
      line4: high:  #3
      line5: low: #4
    I want to change the words "open", "close", "high", "low" to something else.  I optionally want to not show  the "close" line.
    Do you have any suggestions on how to do this?  If you do, please provide a short example.
    Thanks for taking the time to help.

    Hi
    First change the name from kPlusIconPNGIconRsrcID to kPlusIconPNGIconIRsrcID
    so "I" will indicate that your icon is inactive
    Create another resource id like:
    #define kPlusIconPNGIconIRsrcID 15
    #define kPlusIconPNGIconARsrcID 15
    Define paths to the icons
    resource PNGA(kPlusIconPNGIconIRsrcID) "../res/icons/PLUS_ICO_23_I.png" // Inactive icon
    resource PNGR(kPlusIconPNGIconARsrcID) "../res/icons/PLUS_ICO_23_A.png" // Active icon

  • How to change a property programmatically

    Hello,
    How can I change a property during runtime? Like, change the label of a button, or change the header text of a table.
    regards,
    arnold

    Hi Arnold,
    You need to get an instance of the UI element at runtime. You can get this only in WDDoModifyView
    IWDLabel lab = (IWDLabel)view.getElement(<labelID>);
    lab.set<property>(<value>);

  • How to change mouse pointer to Arrow?

    When we move the mouse over any component in preview (or in SWF file), mouse pointer changes to u201Chandu201D. Is it possible to keep the mouse pointer to Arrow or any other custom mouse pointer in Xcelsius 2008 SP 4?
    Thanks

    Mouse over cursor is set to ARROW if the component is not selectable
    Eg:pie chard which has no drill down or no furthur selection is enabled then the mouse over by default is ARROW.
    If you have enabled any furthur selection for that component the by default mouseover is HAND .
    This holds good for all the components in Xcelsius (even in sp4) Except for tab set container component where the selection of tabs is displayed with Arrow  symbol.
    New features that sp4 provides is 1)Waterfall chart 2)Alerts are  supported for spreadsheet tables, and for
    combination charts.

    Have you tried reversing your mouse 180 degrees? Then it works fine for you.

  • How to change mouse & graphics settings on Solaris 10?

    I have Solaris 10 on x86. Before under Solaris 9, I used the "kdmconfig" command to change the mouse and graphics card settings.
    What is the command to do this under Solaris 10, x86? Thanks.

    serendipity1276,
    If you want to use Xorg in a console as root (su -) type /usr/X11/bin/xorgconfig This will walk you thru setting up X, and create a /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. After completing the setup, log out and log back in. Your new settings should take effect. One interesting thing of note concerning mouse setup. If you're using a usb mouse, you should select "auto", otherwise if you select "imps2" for example, you're X server will not start.
    hope that helps,

  • How to change mouse cursor during drag and drop

    Hi Guys,
    Iam performing a Drag and drop from Table1(on top of the figure) to Table2(down in the figure).
    see attached figure
    http://www.upload-images.net/imagen/e80060d9d3.jpg
    Have implemented the Drag and drop functionality using "Transferable" and "TransferHandler"using the java tutorial
    http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/examples/dnd/index.html#ExtendedDndDemo
    Now My problem is that ,I want to make the 1st column in Table2(ie: Column2-0) not to accept any drops so that the cursor appears like a "No-Drop" cursor but with selection on the column cell during a drop action.
    Also when I move my cursor between "column2-0" and "column2-1",want to to have the "No-Drop" and "Drop" cursor to appear depending on the column.
    How can I achieve it using the TransferHandle class.Dont want to go the AWT way of implementing all the source and target listeners on my own.
    Have overridded the "CanImort" as follows:
    public boolean canImport(JComponent c, DataFlavor[] flavors) {
         JTable table = (JTable)c;      
    Point p = table.getMousePosition();
    /* if(p==null)
         return false;
    int selColIndex = table.columnAtPoint(p);
    if(selColIndex==0)
         return false;*/
    If I execute the above commented code,The "No-Drop" Icon appears in "column2-0",but no cell selection.Also If I move to "column2-1",which is the 1st column,Still get the "No-Drop" Icon there,also with no cell selection.
    for (int i = 0; i < flavors.length; i++) {
    if ((DataFlavor.stringFlavor.equals(flavors))) {
    return true;
    return false;
    Thanks in advance.....
    Edited by: Kohinoor on Jan 18, 2008 3:47 PM

    If you found the selection column based on the mouse pointer, then based on the column, you can set the cursor pointer as any one as below :
    setCursor(new Cursor(Cursor.DEFAULT_CURSOR));
    setCursor(new Cursor(Cursor.HAND_CURSOR));
