Mouse pointer appearance
Q. Are messages used to change the shape of the mouse pointer, i.e. from the arrow to the I-beam? An example would be moving the mouse pointer from the menu to the document area in GeoWrite. A. Two common choices are to change the mouse image when it is over a GenView and after handling a mouse event. For the former, use MSG_GEN_VIEW_SET_PTR_IMAGE. For the latter, you can return MRF_SET_POINTER_IMAGE from the mouse event. The details can be found in Concepts 11.2.4.
