Syntax
Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public Property ForceCursor As Boolean
Dim instance As FrameworkElement
Dim value As Boolean
value = instance.ForceCursor
instance.ForceCursor = value
public bool ForceCursor { get; set; }
public:
property bool ForceCursor {
bool get ();
void set (bool value);
}
public function get ForceCursor () : boolean
public function set ForceCursor (value : boolean)
<object ForceCursor="bool" .../>
Property Value
Type:
System..::.Boolean
true if cursor presentation while over this element is forced to use current Cursor settings for the cursor (including on all child elements); otherwise false. The default value is false.
Dependency Property Information
Remarks
If you set this property to true you will override the cursor preferences established by child elements. Doing so in general application UI might be confusing for the user, particularly if child elements are attempting to specify cursors. Setting ForceCursor is more appropriate in control subclassing or compositing scenarios.
Examples
The following example forces the cursor value.
<StackPanel
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
>
<StackPanel Name="CursorForced" ForceCursor="true" Cursor="Hand">
<Label>Cursors Forced</Label>
<TextBox>Fill me in!</TextBox>
</StackPanel>
<StackPanel Name="CursorNotForced">
<Label>Cursors Not Forced</Label>
<TextBox>Fill me in!</TextBox>
</StackPanel>
</StackPanel>
