Hi,

I know how to set the mousePointer of the screen to vbHourglass.

But somewhere I have seen that this pointer (vbHourglass) can also move 180 degrees !

Any ideas on how to do that ?

Thanks,

Imendi
 
You can create your own mouse icons from .ico files. this thread will tell you how:thread222-699561

Changing the pointer to hourglass in VB will set the pointer to whatever hourglass pointer the user has set up on their system (check under control panel - mouse - pointers). There are high contrast pointers, large size pointers, animated pointers (the hourglass that moves 180 degrees), etc.
 
You can also set the mouse pointer to a custom type.

Form.MouseIcon = "c:\myIco.ico"
Form.MousePointer = vbCustom
