1. You can use the SetMouseCursor method. It is used to specify cursors for the different contexts while moving or dragging the mouse. There's also an undocumented mcCurrent member that lets you set a 'current' cursor permanently, until you call it again with a 0 value to revert to the context-sensitive cursors.

2. You can find it here if you don't wish to install the full package -

3. There's no built-in ruler. You could implement a simple ruler using two Table objects to represent the ruler scales, and possibly move them in response to the Scroll event so they stay aligned to the top-left of the visible area.

I hope that helps,

2. Should work again now.

1. Try the following:

Private Sub fcx_MouseDown(ByVal button As FLOWCHARTLibCtl.EMouseButton, ByVal keys As Integer, ByVal docX As Long, ByVal docY As Long)
	fcx.SetMouseCursor mcCurrent, Tools.LoadCursor(0, Tools.IDC_CROSS), False
End Sub

Private Sub fcx_MouseUp(ByVal button As FLOWCHARTLibCtl.EMouseButton, ByVal keys As Integer, ByVal docX As Long, ByVal docY As Long)
	fcx.SetMouseCursor mcCurrent, 0, False
End Sub 

Where the Tools module defines

Public Declare Function LoadCursor Lib "user32.dll" Alias _
	"LoadCursorA" (ByVal hInstance As Long, ByVal _
	lpCursorName As Long) As Long

Public Const IDC_CROSS = 32515 

I hope that helps,
