How to change the mouse pointer when over the Java Applet diagram (Read 4014 times)

	Hi, I have a diagram rendered using the Java Applet that has no interaction other than being able to move the diagram around within the window. This is accomplished by the user clicking and holding the left mouse button and then dragging. This is fine, but when the mouse pointer is simply an arrow, it's not intuitive to the user that they can do this. Changing the mouse pointer to a hand (only while it's over the diagram) would be a better visual cue. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. Jim

	Hi, Try this: Code function onAppletStarted() { var applet = <%= diagramView.AppletElement %>; var view = applet.getDiagramView(); view.setPointerCursor(view.getDrawLinkCursor() /* == Cursor.HAND_CURSOR */); } I hope that helps, Stoyan

	Hi Stoyan, Once again, just what I wanted. Actually I changed it to getMoveCursor, since I think this works even better. The hand would have been good had the index finger not been extended. But you gave me the important piece - the approach. Thanks a lot. Jim

	Stoyan, Me again. Now that I have the mouse pointer working, I have one issue with it. When I hover over the whitespace of the diagram, I get the cursor I want. If I hover over a node, the cursor changes to the hand - that's fine. But if I hover over an expand button, the cursor does not change - it remains the Move cursor (just like it is over whitespace). Is there a way to change the cursor to a pointer when I hover over an expand button? Thanks again Jim

	It's not possible at this time, the control is not detecting the +/- buttons at all until the mouse button is pressed.
