Type: System.Windows.FormsA Cursor that represents the cursor to display when the mouse pointer is over the control.
Assign a Cursor to the Cursor property of the control to change the cursor displayed when the mouse pointer is over the control. To temporarily change the mouse cursor for all controls on your application set the Cursor
The Cursor property is an ambient property. An ambient property is a control property that, if not set, is retrieved from the parent control. For example, a Button will have the same BackColor as its parent Form by default. For more information about ambient properties, see the AmbientProperties class or the Control class overview.
Notes to InheritorsWhen overriding the Cursor property in a derived class, use the base class's Cursor property to extend the base implementation. Otherwise, you must provide all the implementation. You are not required to override both the get and set methods of the Cursor property; you can override only one if needed.
The following code example fills a ComboBox with the user's available logical drives. The example also sets the combo box's Cursor property so the Cursors
Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As Object, _
e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
' Display the hand cursor when the mouse pointer
' is over the combo box drop-down button.
comboBox1.Cursor = Cursors.Hand
' Fill the combo box with all the logical
' drives available to the user.
Try
Dim logicalDrive As String
For Each logicalDrive In Environment.GetLogicalDrives()
comboBox1.Items.Add(logicalDrive)
Next logicalDrive
Catch ex As Exception
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message)
End Try
End Sub
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// Display the hand cursor when the mouse pointer
// is over the combo box drop-down button.
comboBox1.Cursor = Cursors.Hand;
// Fill the combo box with all the logical
// drives available to the user.
try
{
foreach(string logicalDrive in Environment.GetLogicalDrives() )
{
comboBox1.Items.Add(logicalDrive);
}
}
