Changing mouse cursor

[Lancaster]

This CursorHack code works perfectly. By the way, I've read a lot of posts on this and other forums and I have to say that your comments and solutions (Mr.MissingLink or Linq) were always correct, professional and expert. Thank you for making our programmers life a little easier.

The attached file contains a function that will change the pointer when the cursor hovers over a control. One of the pointers included is the hand with the Fickle Finger of Fate!

Thank you missinglinq for the code. I was able to use this to work around another issue. If you have a textbox that is set to show the value as a hyperlink, so that the user sees the hand/finger cursor. I was using the OnClick event of the textbox to launch a form but nothing I would do would get the hand cursor to change to an hourglass. I suspect this is a bug in Access with the hyperlink feature.

Using the API code that you provided I am now able to change the cursor immediately.

I am adding to this old thread in case someone else is struggling with the cursor after clicking a hyperlink.
