MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / April 2006Where to find a MouseIcon
I would like to use the MouseIcon that normally appears when you point at a hyper link, i.e. a hand pointing upwards. I have searced for all files with the extension .ico, bu have not found that particular icon. /BosseH Cursor graphics aren't .ico files, but .cur files. Look for harrow.cur in the Windows\Cursors folder. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. >I would like to use the MouseIcon that normally appears when you point at a >hyper link, i.e. a hand pointing upwards.

Is that one copyrighted or.....? /BosseH > Cursor graphics aren't .ico files, but .cur files. Look for harrow.cur > in the Windows\Cursors folder.

I don't think it's copyrighted specifically, it just isn't available. It seems to be built into the Cursors class of the .Net Framework (and presumably something similar in the MFC/ATL library for the pre-.Net environment). In VB.Net, if you want a hand cursor, you write the line Me.Cursor = Cursors.Hand in the appropriate place in your code, and it magically appears. Unfortunately, it isn't one of the four cursor types available in VBA. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. >Thanks Jay > [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] >> > >> >/BosseH OK Jay I have to accept things as they are. Thanks again! BosseH > Hi Bo, > [quoted text clipped - 46 lines] > >> > > >> >/BosseH |
