How to change mouse pointers programmatically

[ax]

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

I just had a look into the documentation: the cursor-VIs are not part of the base package, so they may be absent in your LV version.
