Hi,

Changing mouse icon / cursor in Xforms is very easy:

FL_FORM *myForm;
fl_set_cursor( myForm->window, type_of_cursor );

The list of "types of cursors" (in fact the "mouse pointer icon").
is in <X11/cursorfont.h>

examples:

XC_watch
XC_coffee_mug
XC_cross_hair

A symbol is provided by XForms (forms.h) to restore
the initial cursor whatever it is:

FL_DEFAULT_CURSOR

Assignation is done in a "per window basis",

I think this function is not documented in the manual,
it is found directly in the "forms.h" file,
the only similar reference I'd found in
the index is to "fl_setpup_cursor"

I hope that it isn't a "private" function,
but only an omision

It is ?

Any way,
it works nice !

Luis
