How to change the cursor for a Text Control
-
Hi i am using a Text Control having caption as "SHOW" . i want to change to cursor when the user makes a mouse move over it . I am unable to do that .. Please provide the comments so that i can change the mouse from standard arrow to hand cursor.
I like CPallini's reply - it's a good hacky one! But if you're using MFC, it's also worth reading the following article: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/miscctrl/hyperlink.aspx[^] You can just remove the painting stuff from his article, and it will still show a cursor of your choice. And it should be a good learning exercise for the future. Iain.

You possibly need
SetClassLong(hTextWnd, GCL_HCURSOR, (LONG) LoadCursor(NULL,IDC_HAND));
see [^]. :)

Wouldn't that replace all STATIC's cursors, rather than just one particular one? Cattivo Carlo, cattivo. Iain.
