Mouse pointer appearance




Q. Are messages used to change the shape of the mouse  
pointer, i.e. from the arrow to the I-beam?  An example  
would be moving the mouse pointer from the menu to the  
document area in GeoWrite.  
  
A. Two common choices are to change the mouse image when it  
is over a GenView and after handling a mouse event. For the  
former, use MSG_GEN_VIEW_SET_PTR_IMAGE. For the latter, you  
can return MRF_SET_POINTER_IMAGE from the mouse event. The  
details can be found in Concepts 11.2.4.
