Remarks

The default cursor is an I-beam, although you can also create cursors using bitmaps. Note that a window can have only one cursor at a time. The system automatically manages the cursor between windows.

Tip
Not applicable for DialogWindows or DataWindows. Tip: In X#, the Cursor class corresponds to a text cursor; use class Pointer to create mouse cursors.

Examples

This example creates a cursor during a focus change:

Copy

1METHOD FocusChange(oEvent) CLASS MyWindow
2IF oEvent:GotFocus
3oCursorText := Cursor{SELF,Dimension{20,20}}
4oCursorText:Position := Point{40,40}
5oCursorText:Show()
6...
7ENDIF
