Cursor Style

Does anyone knows if it is possible and how, if so, to change cursor style on a textbox?

Thanks

In the properties of the textbox - change Mousepointer to whatever you want.http://www.vbforums.com/

Welcome to the forums. :wave:

To embellish a bit.

Set the MousePointer property to 99 - Custom
Set the MouseIcon property to whatever you want.

and welcome to the forums!

Welcome to the forum!

First select your textbox
From properties window look for Mousepointer
Select Custom-99
Select MouseIcon property then
Use any icon you want.

Ahh yes.. as Hack said theres that too.. (I was just thinking of the other choices available as standard cursors ;) )

but yes, if u want a custom cursor then theres your answer http://home.rochester.rr.com/lgsstat...les/alien2.gif

Thank you everybody for the wellcome

I'm not refering to the mouse pointer, but to the cursor inside the textbox

Thats called a caret but whouldnt it be confusing to have it changed to something else?

Did you try numtel's code example? It does change it to a block.

Hi. Welcome. It sounds like what you are asking about is called the "caret." I recently asked what may be a very similar question to yours, if not the exact same question.

Here is a link to all the helpful answers I was given. It worked for me.
