Set Window's Mouse Pointer dynamically
Hi,
How can i set the Window's Mouse Pointer dynamically (Not Screen.MouseIcon or Form.MouseIcon)?
That's go to Control Panel, then select "Mouse", go to "Pointers" and change the "Normal Select" pointer. How can i achieve that?
I want to change the Mouse Pointer when a process is started, and i want it to change back to Default when the process is finished.
Thank you.

Any other comments?
Not sure if this is the one you want. Simply add a command button named "Command1".
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Me.MousePointer = vbNormal
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Load()
Me.MousePointer = vbHourglass
End Sub

Private Sub Command1_Click()

Private Sub Form_Load()
Me.MousePointer = vbHourglass
End Sub

Hi hongjun,
the Me.MousePointer is only work for a single application, right? At the moment, i hope i can change the System MousePointer.
Similarly go to Control Panel, then select "Mouse", go to "Pointers" and change the "Normal Select" pointer.
i want to do this for my research application, that's is:
Change the MousePointer when the Main Program Window is minimized, then restore the MousePointer when the Main Program Window is restored.
TQ
