Property Value

Type: System.Windows.Forms.Cursor
A Cursor that represents the cursor to display when the mouse pointer is resting on the control.

Remarks

Assign a Cursor to the Cursor property of the control to change the cursor that is displayed when the mouse pointer is resting on the control.

The Cursor property is an ambient property. An ambient property is a control property that, if not set, is retrieved from the parent control or form. For example, an OvalShape control will have the same Cursor as its parent Form by default.

Examples

The following example displays a hand cursor when the mouse passes over a RectangleShape control. This code requires that you have a Form with a RectangleShape control on it.

Private Sub ShapeCursor_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _
 Handles MyBase.Load
    RectangleShape1.Cursor = Cursors.Hand
End Sub

private void ShapeCursor_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    rectangleShape1.Cursor = Cursors.Hand;
}
