    Change cursor on desktop

    Hello,

    I've posted this thread which talks about detecting mouse events on desktop:
    http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.php?t=464827

    I would like to change the cursor when I click with the mouse.
    For example, I press mouse button down, then the cursor changes and wherever it is (on desktop or a window) it stay like this until I unpress this button (on mouse up events). This can be done with setcapture and releasecapture api when you want this on your form...

    Can be done like that for the desktop? Others ways to perform this problem, please?

    Thanks in advance.

    This is available only on the form. Since I slide the mouse cursor on desktop, it comes back as usual.
