Does anyone know how to set a mouse cursor (eg to a crosshair), within a specific area of a screen, and get it to stay that way within such an area.



I can set the cursor easy enough, but as soon as you move the mouse it goes back to an arrow. I can set the cursor to an hourglass during processing tasks and it stays that way until the process is complete, and that is because the system is busy, but I want a crosshair, AND to have events open to my disposal.



Any ideas?

<QUOTE>Colin,



In OI16 days we used to do this via sub-classing the WM_SETCURSOR message with a DLL (which we could still do in OI32).  However given the new synchronous WINMSG capability in OI32 it might be possible to achieve the same thing in Basic+.  We just haven't tried yet :)



Basically you'll need to use the SetCursor() API function when processing this message.  More info can be found on the MSDN site [url=http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/winui/WinUI/WindowsUserInterface/Resources/Cursors/CursorReference/CursorFunctions/SetCursor.asp]here[/url]
