Magnifying glass cursor

Hi !
I want to use a magnifying glass cursor , how do i set it up ?
i checked the java.awt.cursor API and didnt find what i need .
please help me .
thank you !

I'm pretty sure there isn't a predefined magnifying glass cursor, so you're going to need to create your own magnifying glass image to use. After you make the image, you can set your program to use it with:
Cursor cursor = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createCustomCursor(img, hotSpot, name);
component.setCursor(cursor);
Here's the documentation for that:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/awt/Toolkit.html#createCustomCursor(java.awt.Image,%20java.awt.Point,%20java.lang.String)
Hope that helps.

  • How do I get rid of this magnifying-glass-cursor when I don't want it?!

    What happened to the standard cursor arrow? Suddenly I have this magnifying glass that is so annoying and is very imprecise in highlighting buttons or text.

  • Changing cursor color?  magnifying glass?

    Anyone recommend a 3rd party set of cursors to use in Logic?
    I'd love to have a bright red cursor that I could easily see.
    Also, I'd love a magnifying glass tool. Some of Logic's text is just too small to see at the resolution where I'm basically happy with 95% of it.

    Not sure if any of these will work with the Intel Macs, but you can ask the developer to see if they do:

  • Double Cursor - Hand, Magnifying Glass etc

    I'm running CS3 Extended on a Dell Latitude 830 laptop with a Dell bluetooth mouse and a Wacom tablet -- the tablet plugs into a USB port. I'm seeing two hands, two magnifying glasses, two selection tool arrows, etc. Fortunately, only one brush tip. How do I get rid of the doppleganger? It doesn't affect performance, but it sure is annoying. I have a second laptop with a different bluetooth mouse and have shut that off (machine and mouse) thinking it was picking up an extra signal, but it doesn't make a difference. Am out of ideas and can't find a similar problem posted anywhere. Advice gratefully accepted.

    I tried every combination of having the peripherals off and on and also completey removed Photoshop and reinstalled it and still have the doppleganger. I think it is a Windows issue -- this new laptop has a high resolution display, which makes the icons in the tool palette so tiny I can't see them. The double cursor started when I reset the resolution. It appears that my display is now set for "multiple monitors" which I don't have. I can't get it back to just the primary monitor so will call the Windows "help" people today and see if they can help. Is there a way to increase the size of the icons in Photoshop without tinkering with the screen resolution?
    Thanks for your response to my initial question.

  • Create a magnifying glass on an image.

    I am pretty new to Flex. I am trying to create a magnifying
    glass for an image viewer. I want to move the cursor over an image
    that will zoom in on a 200X200 area. I don't want to zoom in on the
    whole image. I can see I can probably do it with the Bitmap class,
    but I do not see how I can cut out a piece of the original bitmap
    to display. Also, Flex seems to have a lot of similar features like
    Zoom, but I can't see how to use any of these cool features to do
    just what i want to do. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    The way I do this in Flash is to have a masked enlarged image
    on a seperate layer with the magnifier acting as the mask. The mask
    object is draggable, so it reveals to larger image as you move it
    around. There is some math involved to make it track like it is
    actually revealing the smaller image.
    The layering looks like this:
    mask object
    large image
    small image
    mask is a property of flash.display.DisplayObject and
    mx.core.IFlexDisplayObject. I haven't played with this yet in Flex,
    but I'm sure it should work similarly to what I've used in
    Flash.

  • The Magnifying Glass

    Okay, another thing I really (thought I would have) liked about BB OS 10.3.1 is the magnifying glass that lets you use the keyboard-**bleep**-touchpad to easily pinpoint precisely where to insert the cursor...but it looks like this functionality is only available when inputting data, as in populating text fields...that's all???
    Would have been great as a mouse pointer substitute.  As it is, it isn't even available in all cases of a text input field, either.  For example, on Google Calendar, it pops up once an event is being edited, but not for any text input field available through the primaray calendar view itself at first....
    Anyway, another rather underwhelming day with BlackBerry!

  • Magnifying glass iOs8

    Hello,
    I upgraded to iOs8 and everything was going smooth at first but then I got that weird problem with the magnifying glass that pops up when you hold your finger over text that you've typed and want to use that magnifying glass to zoom in. I hold my finger, the thing appears for less than a second and disappears though the cursor does move in between the letters. I tried to restart my phone 3 times and it did fix the problem but for about 10 mins, then it got back.
    What will you suggest I do to get rid of that unpleasant situation?
    Thank you for your help!

    If you mean that the Zoom tool was removed from the application bar then yes, that was intentional, they needed to make some extra room for the workspace switcher. Anyway, why bother to select the zoom tool? Ctrl+Space and the new scrubby zoom is much faster

  • [iPhone] Magnify glass not work 2.1 with UITextField in UITableView

    I have a UITable with custom a UITableViewCells that I add a UITextField to.
    In 2.0 the magnify glass sort of worked. You could press and hold on text in the UITextField and the glass would appear. (But once appeared you couldn't drag your finger back and forth to move the cursor, but instead have to tap to move the cursor.)
    In 2.1 I can't get the glass to even appear.
    Is there something I must do to pass along events up the food chain so that the system can process the events for the magnify glass?

    Make sure your table is editable (i.e., its editable property is set to YES). Seems to work as expected when I do that. Took me a couple of weeks to figure this out! See here for more information.

  • V6 Magnifying glass search  - drop down box

    In versions prior to V6, I was able to search by: Artist, Song title, Group etc.. By placing the cursor over the magnifying glass search icon, a drop down box was available to provide these search filter selections. This function (i.e. the drop down box itself) does not work in V6. Anyone have a copy of V5 that I can go back to?

    b noir, thanks for the reply. My searches originate in the "Music Store" page not the "Library" page. Here's an example of the functionality I lost. If you ONLY want songs with the word "RED" you now get songs with red, artists with red and albums with red. You cannot JUST get songs with the word red, you're forced to scroll through a lot of extra listings that you didn't ask for. It looks like Apple has decided to down grade the search function post version 4.9, so I'll ask if anyone has a V4.9 that I can go back to. Thanks for your help.

  • 1st generation ipod. When I plug it into my computer an image of a disk w/a magnifying glass appears (disk scan).  Each time I plug it in it does the same thing and it wont show up on my computer.

    I have a 1st generation ipod, which I love. When I plug it into my computer an image of a disk with a magnifying glass appears (disk scan).  When it finishes the scan it always checks out. I then restart it and all looks fine. Each time I plug it in to the computer it does the same thing and it wont show up on my computer. The other strange thing is all of the songs are gone from the ipod but the disk space is still being used. When the ipod is not plugged into the computer everything look fine even the correct date shows up. Any ideas????? Thanks

    try reinstalling iTunes.

  • Safari no longer shows the browser when I open it. No magnifying glass. Where has it gone?

    My Father-in-law used my computer yesterday and now when I open Safari it no longer shows the magnifying glass/browser. I have tried to restore from backup and reinstalling but these do not work. It seems as though he did something to turn disable it. I know I know "ours is not to reason why.." But how do I get it back? Thanks.

    Choose either one of these, and drag it into the top of your toolbar:  See the search windows in both of these?

    How do I change the size of the tools and the text for the menus in Photoshop?  I need a magnifying glass in order to make out what they are.

    Okay, I've figured it out, so I'm going to answer my own question in hopes that it may help anyone else that would like to actually be able to see what they're doing when using Photoshop CC 2014 on a high resolution screen.
    1.  Open Photoshop.
    2.  Select Preferences from the Edit Menu, then select General.
    3.  Change the HUD Color Picker to Hue Strip (Medium).
    4.  Select Interface from the Preferences menu on the left side of the dialog box.
    5.  Change the UI Font Size to Large in the Text area of the Preferences dialog box.
    6.  Select Experimental Features from the Preferences menu on the left side of the dialog box.
    7.  Select Scale UI 200% for high-density displays (Windows only).
    8.  Click on OK, then Exit/Quit Photoshop.
    9.  Open Photoshop and everything should be readable.

  • How to make a magnifying glass link to a look up table ?

    Dear Friends,
    Hello. I am developing the accounting application of journal entry. In journal line, I use the image "magnifying glass" next to each chart field. When we click on the magnifying glass, it's supposed to come up a look up table( a chart and name mapping table), and we select the proper chart to input into the chart field.
    I understand to create another record and page for the look up table. But I don't understand how to make a magnifying glass link to a look up table. Can anybody tell me how to do that ? Thanks.
    Lucy

    This is how it works,
    Table A (which stores chart fields). You have used fields from table A on a page so that users can input data.
    You don't need to put a magnifying glass image or create a new page to achieve look up page.
    all you need to do is create another table say Table B which should have the chart field and corresponding description you want to show on lookup page. Then open record-field property of the chart field on Table A and mention Table B as prompt table.
