Specifying pointers for a DataWindow object

Just as with colors, you can specify different pointers to use when the mouse is over a particular area of the DataWindow object. For example, you might want to change the pointer when the mouse is over a column whose data cannot be changed.

StepsTo change the mouse pointer used at runtime:

  1. Position the mouse over the element of the DataWindow object whose pointer you want to define, display the pop-up menu, and select Properties to display the appropriate Properties view.

    You can set a pointer for the entire DataWindow object, specific bands, and specific controls.

  2. Select the Pointer tab.

  3. Either choose the pointer from the Stock Pointers list or, if you have a file containing pointer definitions (CUR files), enter a pointer file name.

    You can use the Browse button to search for the file.

  4. Click OK.
