How to set cursor for TSplitter ?
« on: May 30, 2021, 11:43:51 pm »
It seems the Cursor property for the TSplitter does nothing?

I can not set the cursor I want for some reason.. ?

Drop a Tsplitter on a blank form and set the cursor to what ever, it uses its own cursor and ignores me? I am use to this from my wife but not coding. :(

 Anyone got ideas other than me doing something I shouldn't need to ?

The cursor for the vertical splitter seems to be working, but not the one for the horizontal splitter. See attached demo: both cursors should be crHandPoint, but only the vertical one obeys.

If you do anything in TSplitter that changes Align, ResizeAnchor, or Enabled  the only cursors you'll see are crVSplit, crHSplit, or crDefault. Check out UpdateCursor for the culprit.

@wp saw crHandPoint only because the splitter did not set Align, ResizeAnchor, or Enabled.

Maybe you could try TPairSplitter... it seems to have better support for cursors.

Then this must be a bug then...

I am surprise no one has seen this before. I found this in an older Laz and its still there in the trunk.

I must be one of the few that dares to stretch the simple limits. %)

This smells like some one called the RecreateWindow or RecreateWnd again!
I just set the cursor during the form.onCreate and it works then so this means the window is getting recreated and cursor is receiving the default one..


P.S.

  Yes, I looked in the UpdateCursor! why is this being done? I don't see any reason for this..

that seems to work in my Delphi.. I set the cursor and that what's used.

It simply defaults at startup before the resource is read..

I guess It can be fixed but this is just strange why someone would do that ?
