[RESOLVED] cursors

i would like my picture boxes and labels to act like hyperlinks, so it has the hand icon when i move the mouse over it. i have noticed that you cant use the mouse drag because you cant click

I usually use textboxes, but I don't see why you couldn't use a picturebox (you will not be able to use a Label because the label control does not have an hWnd property.)

In the pictureboxs property page set the mouse pointer to 99-Custom
In the mouseicon property load the picture that you want to use. Then add this code to the mouseover event

VB Code:

Option Explicit
 
Private Declare Function SetCapture Lib "User32" (ByVal hwnd As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function ReleaseCapture Lib "User32" () As Long
Private Declare Function GetCapture Lib "User32" () As Long
 
Private Sub Picture1_MouseMove(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
If (X < 0) Or (Y < 0) Or (X > Picture1.Width) Or (Y > Picture1.Height) Then
       ReleaseCapture
ElseIf GetCapture() <> Picture1.hwnd Then
       SetCapture Picture1.hwnd
End If
End Sub

Place whatever code is necessary in the pictureboxes click event.
