changing/customizing mouse cursor appearance

[Michiel Spape]

Hiya,
1) You might just be able to change your cursor settings in windows (download and find), I'd be surprised if E-Prime actually copied these.
2) You can hide the cursor and insert a BMP over it. For example, if you have a procedure:

1. Label1
2. Slide with bmp of your face, positioned at X: [Xpos], Y: [Ypos], duration 10 ms with vsync on.
3. Inline:
Dim x1 as integer, y1 as integer
Mouse.GetCursorPos x1, y1
c.SetAttrib "Xpos", x1
c.SetAttrib "Ypos", y1
goto Label1

Should work.
Best,
Mich

Subject: changing/customizing mouse cursor appearance

Hi all,

I am trying to figure out how to change the appearance of the mouse
cursor in E-Prime.  In the E-Basic help, the MouseDevice.Cursor topic
lists the standard cursors available in E-Prime (you can change the
cursor using inline "Mouse.Cursor = (1-13)"). However, the options are
quite limited.

I want to set my own image as the cursor (in my case, a small white
circle).  Does anyone know of a way to set a small .bmp or .jpg file
to appear as the cursor?  Thank you

Erin
