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?

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:

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

Now I want to rotate mouse cursor.
Please Help

There are no APIs directly for that. Maybe try rotating the cursor. It should be systemManager.cursorChildren.getChildAt(0) or maybe 1 or 2.

How to extract the mouse cursor image without using JNI

I want to get the image of the mouse cursor of the system using java. The Robot class captures the screen only, but the mouse icon image is not the part of the screen, so it is not easily detected. But we can get the mouse cursor position using API, but how to get the exact image icon, without using JNI. I don't want to generate my own cursor at that position.

I am building a Remote Desktop kinda app using java..... I want the screen of the remote comp to be viewed on my screen and generate events from my machine to the remote machine. So, I am capturing the screen images of the remote machine. But the cursor is not part of the screen object. i want to extract the cursor image icon from the remote machine to my machine and render the image.

How to cure unstable mouse cursor ?

After installing Snow Leopard I've had problems with the mouse cursor flying wildly to the edge of the screen, which makes retouching photos very difficult. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Have you checked Systems Prefs > Mouse, to see if the settings are as they should be? Especially, tracking, double click, scrolling etc which I have set around the middle of the slide bar, but you may prefer differently.

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) {
     }
