Stopping the Hand Cursor

Okay, don't ask why I'm publishing to Flash 5, but I am!
I've got a flyout panel that sometimes comes out over buttons
or other interactive things. These buttons are clickable "through"
the flyout panel -- which is a bad thing.
So I thought I would make an invisible "click catcher" button
and put it on the lowest layer of the flyout artwork. And it does
work, except now the entire flyout panel shows the hand cursor over
the whole area.
Normally I would Button.useHandCursor=false, but since I"m
publishing to Flash 5 that isn't an option.
Also the pages this will appear over are dynamic (and not
entirely within my control) so I can't make the underneath buttons
invisible or anything like that.
Does anybody have any creative ideas?

Please Help!!! How to use the Hand cursor on an Image !!!!

Hi,
I am sorry for cross posting but nobody seem to know this, i need this as soon as possible.
I have a main Jframe which contains a Jpanel which contains a jscrollpane. THe image is in scrollpane and i would like to use the Hand cursor to move the image up and down the jscrollpane.
Can someone tell me or show me how can i use a hand cursor on an image
I would appreciate if someone can show me a simple example.
THanks in advance.

Well. I would call setCursor with a cursor of type Cursor.HAND_CURSOR or something on the Component where you want the hand. Then you could add a MouseMotionListener to the Component. in mouseDragged() you scroll the scrollpane programmatically according to the MouseEvents getX() and getY().

How to avoid the hand cursor on non navigating charts

I have a requirement from the user to avoid the hand cursor when the charts are non navigating.
Is there any way to avoid the hand cursor.?
When we move the mouse over the bar chart, the pointer cursor gets changed to hand cursor. But there is no navigation in the charts that i'm showing.
The presence of hand cursor in bar charts creates confusion to the end user when there is no navigation in charts.
It always misleads end users and they ask if the chart is complete or not since there is no navigation.
So i would like to avoid it, but how can i avoid it.??

You need not use the zoom code, you could replace it by something else

How do you remove the hand cursor on the "current" page link?

I'm working on a new website design in Dreamweaver and would like to remove the hand cursor when it hovers over the current page link. I'd welcome any help! Here's an example of the design: http://www.bfranklincrafts.com/NewSite/MonroeCalendar.html
Thanks!

How to get the 'hand' cursor on an ALV drill down report?

I have a drill down on PO # going to trans ME23N that is working great.
But I have noticed on my other drill downs (E.G for billing doc VF03) that when the report is displayed the drill down field value is a) underlined and b) has a 'Hand' appear when you place the cursor over the billing document field.
This does not happen on my PO # - it is not highlighted with an underscore, nor do you get the small hand - but it does work when you double click the field.
The field I am using on the ALV report is RSEG-EBELN. This is not a KEY field in the table - perhaps that is why it does not have the underscore and the 'hand'.
Thanks!
Scott

Here it is.
When you build your field cat use the below code.
DATA : x_fieldcat TYPE slis_fieldcat_alv.
* Single click on the field will trigger double click event.Also, a hand
* will appear when the cursor navigates to the field
X_FIELDCAT-HOTSPOT = 'X'.

How to show the 'hand' cursor on thumbnail link?

Hi
I'm a novice user, today is the 3rd time I've even worked in Dreamweaver ..I used to use Frontpage 2000 so this a quite a change for me. <:)
I'm making a simple picture gallery using image thumbnails and wanted the full view images to load in a custom sized windows. I used the 'onclick' and 'open browser window' behaviour for each thumbnail and previewed it in IE & Safari. The windows were great, but I noticed the standard arrow pointer appears over the thumbnails even though they are links to full images..so nobody would know they are clickable. : /
Is there some way in Dreamweaver CS4 to have the cursor change to the 'hand' form to indicated this is a link? I'm guessing it might be something to do with an 'on mouseover' trigger on the thumbnail, but I didn't see anything about cursors.
Apologies in advance if I did not explain this in the correct terms or if it's a code issue that can't be addressed in Dreamweaver.
Shelley

Why not use a null link on the thumbnail to attach the behaviour to? and add the return false.
<a href="javascript:;"><img src="FW-gradient-slice.jpg" alt="" name="Image1" width="185" height="176" id="Image1" onclick="MM_openBrWindow('FW-gradient-slice.jpg','','width=600,height=600');return false" /></a>
Select the thumbnail and in the property inspectory, in the link box, type in javascript:;
Then apply the Open Browser window to the thumbnail as usual.
You may want to look at using David's Smart Link Dreamweaver extension - very easy to use and valid:
http://foundationphp.com/tools/index.php
You will also need to add the following rule to the stylesheet (or in the head of the document if the style rules are there), to remove the blue border around the images...
a img {border: none;}

Can the Add To Cart image render the hand cursor to look more like a clickable link?

I have used a custom image for the add to cart tag - {tag_addtocart,<img src="/images/fg_buttonbuy.jpg" width="203" height="76" />} - however our client is worried people will be unsure if that's where they click to add the product to the cart as the cursor stays as the arrow and doesn't change to the hand like when clicking on other links.
I was pointed to this page http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_button_test and told I was able to customise my code so that it did render the hand. I've done a little bit of trial and error however am unsure how to add the button code to the add to cart tag.
If anyone is able to assist it would be greatly appreciated!

I tried the target the class but there was no class associated with the button rendered:
<img src="/images/button.gif" alt="" onclick="AddToCart(83934,3349995,'',3,'','',false);return false;">
Can I wrap it in <span class="button"><img . . .></span>? If so does it need to be assigned to the link. ie. .button img a { cursor:pointer; }
Thanks.

I can't see the hand-cursor to controlled slides from a Quicktime Interact.

Suddenly, my hand-cursor disappeared to controlled Hyperlinks from presentations in Quicktimes Interactives, make with Keynote.
How can I get it again?
I search in preferences, but I don't know how to appeared it.
Thanks

Ok, that didn't work and only closed out this window in discussions. After it closed this one I tried again doing the same but nothing. Makes sense though because if it closed this one out it would close everything else out on my desktop too. This is like a giant screen saver. All my other .jpg icons are still on my desktop over the top of this big pic. Is it possible this is what it is, just a screensaver? I did the same with another pic from the same website and it didn't do this. I clicked on my mouse to save a pic to the desktop and this monstrous thing appeared. My dock is still there and the top bar that has the apple, Safari, edit, etc., but not anything else that you would normally click on to close a window.

The hand cursor / pointer

How do I get the HAND POINTER to appear when I run my mouse over a clickable object in the flash file?
Right now the cursor is always the pointer..... Does this happen automatically after I put the file into an html file and view with a browser?

Hiding the Hand Cursor

Good day
Is there any way to suppress the system hand cursor from
appearing when hovering over a hyperlink?
It overlies my custom cursor. TextFiled must be mouseEnabled.
Mouse.hide() doesn't do it.
Thanks!

I dont know if the following will work in a JApplet but heres some code - (just make the cursor.gif a transparent gif)
Toolkit tk = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();
Image im = new ImageIcon("cursor.gif").getImage();
Cursor cursor = tk.createCustomCursor(im,new Point(2,2),"custom cursor");
this.setCursor(cursor);
Hope it helps

Show the hand cursor over a simple label

I have searched for this for a long time but i cant seem to
find the answer. All I want, is that when the mouse passes over a
label it changes from the arrow to the hand, like it does with the
link button component.
Thx

Thx for the answer
Well now i got 2 more questions,
how come the useHandCursor property wasnt enough
And where do i find this kind of information, because i have
plenty more questions, more about style than data, and reference
book are not out yet.
Thx again

How can I stop the blinking cursor?

Hey
I have been using an older version of TLF and used blinking = false when I did nor want the cursor to blink.
Now I cannot find another way to achieve this.
It seems like if you use the SelectionManager you are stuck with this default blink.
Or am I wrong?
Regards
Micheal

The blinkRate was moved from the SelectionManager to the SelectionFormat. That way you could have separate blink rates for focused and unfocused selections.
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/gumbo/langref/flashx/textLayout/edit/SelectionFormat.html
Assign new SelectionFormats to the SelectionManager focusedSelectionFormat, inactiveSelectionFormat and/or unfocusedSelectionFormat properties.

Issue when Kinect Hand Cursor Leaves the Application Screen

Hi Everyone
i have an application in v2. i have implemented the hand cursor and when the cursor leaves the application or when the user stop using hands the sensor takes time to detect the sensor back and sometimes it does not come back.
We updated the VGA Driver to the latest and still we have an issue. we followed the standard by assigning the Kinect to the Kinect region as we did in V1 sdk 1.8.
Our Kinect instance is in a Static Variable so we ca reuse it in other Windows that we created below is my MainPage
this.InitializeComponent();
Generics.Generics.FullScreen(this);
// only one sensor is currently supported
KinectGeneric.kinectSensor = KinectSensor.GetDefault();
// open the sensor
KinectGeneric.kinectSensor.Open();
// set IsAvailableChanged event notifier
KinectGeneric.kinectSensor.IsAvailableChanged += Sensor_IsAvailableChanged;
// set the status text
this.Status.Content = KinectGeneric.kinectSensor.IsAvailable ? Properties.Resources.RunningStatusText
: Properties.Resources.NoSensorStatusText;
// open the reader for the body frames
this.bodyFrameReader = KinectGeneric.kinectSensor.BodyFrameSource.OpenReader();
// set the BodyFramedArrived event notifier
this.bodyFrameReader.FrameArrived += bodyFrameReader_FrameArrived;
// initialize the BodyViewer object for displaying tracked bodies in the UI
this.kinectBodyView = new KinectBodyView(KinectGeneric.kinectSensor);
// initialize the gesture detection objects for our gestures
// KinectGeneric.gestureDetectorList = new List<GestureDetector>();
//set the Region
KinectRegion.SetKinectRegion(this, kinectRegion);
kinectRegion.KinectSensor = KinectGeneric.kinectSensor;
App app = ((App)Application.Current);
app.KinectRegion = kinectRegion;
and we have a viewbox that covers the grid and the Kinect region as detected below
<Viewbox Margin="0,0,-0.2,0" VerticalAlignment="Top">
<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Height="1367">
<k:KinectRegion x:Name="kinectRegion" Margin="0,138,-8.4,10">
we use the view box to adjust our UI automatically on different sizes of the screen. We also have Navigation services which is inside the above grid as depicted below
<DockPanel Margin="551,-57,668,177">
<Frame x:Name="_home" NavigationUIVisibility="Hidden" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Source="Default.xaml" Width="1460" Margin="0,12,0,0" />
</DockPanel>
On all other Pages that get navigated to, we dont have Kinect Region because it will inherit from the Frame Pages else we get ourselves with two hand cursors.
If there is anything i have missed please point it out for me
Thanks
Vuyiswa Maseko

Hi Carmine
Thanks for the reply
you said "we dont have Kinect Region because" how does this differ from how we implement
multi-pages in Controls-Basics? Are you creating new windows?
Yes you are right it does not Differ, we used this Navigation Part in our V1 Application and the it worked nicely. i have pages not window and i just navigate to those pages , because they are hosted in the Frame when the hand is active it can move from
the Parent window and the Child .
we have borrowed the client the sensor i cant actually reproduce that until they finish testing and we can attend to the issue, they just called us and explained, when i was there i was able to do it nicely i think they just need to put the sensor in the
right place.
Carmine if i can just squeeze this other question ,
In V1 from SDK 1.7 ,1.8 we had the push to press that was in the Toolkit which showed a nice purple looking hand , why was that not added in 2.0 SDK ?
Thanks

Changing the cursor to the "hand" on a link..

The links work fine but it would be more intuitive if the
cursor changed to the default "hand" as it would on any web page
link. How can this be modified?
import flash.net.navigateToURL;
import com.flashloaded.as3.PhotoFlowEvent;
function eventHandler (eo:PhotoFlowEvent):void {
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(eo.data.link);
navigateToURL (request,"");
myPhotoFlow.addEventListener
(PhotoFlowEvent.CLICK_SELECTED,eventHandler);
myPhotoFlow.autoFlipDelay=1.5;

Assuming the name of the button is "myPhotoFlow" the
following one line will add the "hand" cursor when over a button:
myPhotoFlow.buttonMode = true;

Stop the cursor from leaving the frame/panel?

Im making a simple target game where you shoot targets with the mouse. What I'd like to do is stop the mouse cursor from leaving the panel/frame. I've tried moving the cursor there with the Robot class, but 1) it doesnt lock it directly to the edge, 2) it doesnt stop at the top edge and left edge, 3) the bottom edge results in the cursor being placed in the wrong place and finally, 4) if u move the cursor fast enough it breaks out anyway :(
Hope someone can help,
Thanx.

Wow nice responses. I have two questions:
1) What is native code?Write the code to capture the mouse in C/C++ (Windows supports capturing the mouse cursor - dunno about linux or solaris), then write a JNI wrapper function so you can call it from within Java.
>
2) Is it difficult to make it full screen? I was
thinking of doing that but the thought of rescaling
everything (i.e. fonts, images etc) made me think
otherwise.Fullscreen is easy, simply graphicsDevice.setFullscreenWindow(window);
Once in fullscreen, you can change the resolution to whatever you like (limited to what is supported by the gfx card ofcourse :p), so you shouldn't have to worry about rescaling gfx 2much.

Thanx,
Jon
