.NET Forum / Windows Forms / WinForm General / October 2004how to change the cursor to arrow when hovering over selected text?
hi all i wrote a simple text editor. i am able to select text, and drag/drop it onto other text editors. however, when the mouse hovers over the selected text, before draging it, it remains an IBeam. this is not desireable behaviour. users expect the cursor to change into an arrow, when hovering over selected text. how do i change the cursor to arrow, when hovering over selected text? assaf You can use Control.Cursor property to set the desired cursor for your control when hovering.

Also i came across this enhanced texteditor control, you may want to give it a try http://sf.net/projects/wangdera Sijin Joseph http://www.indiangeek.net http://weblogs.asp.net/sjoseph > hi joseph. > [quoted text clipped - 28 lines] >>> >>>assaf bingo > You could use a RichTextBox instead of a textbox and then in the hover > event for the control use RichTextBox.GetCharIndexFromPosition() to get [quoted text clipped - 42 lines] > >>> > >>>assaf Free MagazinesGet these publications absolutely FREE for up to 12 months.
