Property Value

Type: Cursor
A Cursor that represents the cursor to display when the mouse pointer is over the ShapeContainer.

Remarks

Assign a Cursor to the Cursor property of a ShapeContainer to change the cursor that is displayed when the mouse pointer is over the ShapeContainer.

The Cursor property is an ambient property. An ambient property is a property that, if it is not set, is retrieved from the parent control or form. For example, a ShapeContainer will have the same Cursor as its parent Form by default.

Examples

The following example displays a hand cursor when the mouse passes over a ShapeContainer but not when it passes over a RectangleShape that is contained by the ShapeContainer. This code requires that you have a Form with a RectangleShape control on it.

Private Sub Form1_Load() Handles MyBase.Load
    ' Display the hand cursor when mouse is over the ShapeContainer.
    ShapeContainer1.Cursor = Cursors.Hand
    ' Display the default cursor when mouse is over the RectangleShape.
    RectangleShape1.Cursor = Cursors.Default 
End Sub

private void form1_Load(System.Object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
    // Display the hand cursor when mouse is over the ShapeContainer.
    shapeContainer1.Cursor = Cursors.Hand;
    // Display the default cursor when mouse is over the RectangleShape.
    rectangleShape1.Cursor = Cursors.Default;
}
