defaultCursor
Type
property
Summary
Specifies the default shape of the cursor.
Syntax
set the defaultCursor to <imageID>
Description
Use the defaultCursor property to change the cursor used when the Browse tool is being used from a hand to some other cursor shape.
LiveCode includes several built-in cursors whose names you can use in place of their image IDs. The built-in cursors are described in the entry for the cursor property.
If the lockCursor property is set to false, the cursor changes shape automatically as the mouse moves. (For example, the cursor normally turns into an arrow over a menu, an I-beam over an editable field, and so on.) The defaultCursor is the shape used automatically when the mouse pointer is in a stack window, but not in an editable field.
Examples
set the defaultCursor to arrow
