Cursor junkyard

Not everybody uploads enough cursors to create a cursor sets. Such submittions end up on the cursor junkyard. Despite the name, there are some worthy pieces. Check them out.

How to change the mouse pointer?

If you change your cursors frequently, consider using a free tool that allows you to change cursor from Windows Explorer context menu. Beside changing cursors one by one, the tool also allows exporting and importing cursor schemes.

If you do not want to install any software, just click on Control Panel in Start menu, then double-click the Mouse icon and switch to Pointer tab. Here you can change the cursors used by Windows in different situations to the downloaded ones.

Adding your cursors to the library

If you are an author of a cursor or cursor set, you may present your work to visitors of this web site. To add your cursors to the library:

• Get RealWorld Cursor Editor (it’s free).
• Open a cursor file, and click the command «Cursor»->»Add to Online Library» from application menu.
  • When uploading, please use the same email address associated with your account on this server.
  • Carefully choose file name and fill in the description. This helps people to find your cursor when using the search box.
• The cursors are by default added to the «Junkyard». If you have already added multiple cursors with similar theme and you would like to have them turned into a cursor set, register or login and return to this page.

Important: only cursor authors or copyright holders may add cursor to the library. If you are using pictures downloaded from internet to create cursors, you must make sure the author of the pictures allows this use of their work.

If you have found that someone has used your pictures and added them to the library without your permission, contact us immediately at info@rw-designer.com and they will be removed.

Important: always create 32×32 pixels cursors unless you have a serious reason not to. While it is possible to make cursors of non-standard size, Windows will automatically resample them decreasing image quality.

Manage mouse pointers (Windows Forms .NET)

The mouse pointer, which is sometimes referred to as the cursor, is a bitmap that specifies a focus point on the screen for user input with the mouse. This topic provides an overview of the mouse pointer in Windows Forms and describes some of the ways to modify and control the mouse pointer.

The Desktop Guide documentation for .NET 5 (and .NET Core) is under construction.

Accessing the mouse pointer

The mouse pointer is represented by the Cursor class, and each Control has a Control.Cursor property that specifies the pointer for that control. The Cursor class contains properties that describe the pointer, such as the Position and HotSpot properties, and methods that can modify the appearance of the pointer, such as the Show, Hide, and DrawStretched methods.

The following example hides the cursor when the cursor is over a button:

Controlling the mouse pointer

Sometimes you may want to limit the area in which the mouse pointer can be used or change the position the mouse. You can get or set the current location of the mouse using the Position property of the Cursor. In addition, you can limit the area the mouse pointer can be used be setting the Clip property. The clip area, by default, is the entire screen.

The following example positions the mouse pointer between two buttons when they are clicked:

Changing the mouse pointer

Changing the mouse pointer is an important way of providing feedback to the user. For example, the mouse pointer can be modified in the handlers of the MouseEnter and MouseLeave events to tell the user that computations are occurring and to limit user interaction in the control. Sometimes, the mouse pointer will change because of system events, such as when your application is involved in a drag-and-drop operation.

The primary way to change the mouse pointer is by setting the Control.Cursor or DefaultCursor property of a control to a new Cursor. For examples of changing the mouse pointer, see the code example in the Cursor class. In addition, the Cursors class exposes a set of Cursor objects for many different types of pointers, such as a pointer that resembles a hand.

The following example changes the cursor of the mouse pointer for a button to a hand:

To display the wait pointer, which resembles an hourglass, whenever the mouse pointer is on the control, use the UseWaitCursor property of the Control class.
