mousePointer

Type: Integer

Availability: Read or write at run time only

The mousePointer property of the Application class controls the shape of the mouse pointer for all windows of the application. Setting this property to a non-zero value overrides the mousePointer value of each window in the application. Set the mousePointer property to a non-zero value to determine the type of mouse pointer that is displayed when the mouse is positioned over any window belonging to the application at run time.

Use this property to display the hourglass cursor (Window.MousePointer_HourGlass) when the application is performing an extended operation.

To restore the previous behavior, set the mousePointer property to the default value of Window.MousePointer_Default (0). If you set this property to the Window class mousePointer property default value, the mouse pointer that is displayed is determined by each individual window.

The settings of the mousePointer property are listed in the following table.
