In this
blog post I am going to demonstrate on how to manipulate cursor for WinRT UI control
as like in WPF control.
In WPF, you
will find a property (Cursor) in UI control which allows you to get/sets the
cursor which displays when mouse pointer is over the UI (ex: Textbox) element.
Whereas in WinRT environment there is no cursor property for each UI control
instead we can manipulate the cursor used by the window using the current core
window pointer cursor.
//Gets or sets the
cursor used by the window.
Window.Current.CoreWindow.PointerCursor
In the
below sample (referred from WinRTXamlToolkit
samples) I have
manipulated the cursor used by the window when hovering over (pointer entered
and pointer exited event) the text block element.
Sample
link:
Code
Snippet:
private void txtBlock_PointerEntered_1(object sender, PointerRoutedEventArgs e) {
//Store current cursor used by the window
m_defaultCursor = Window.Current.CoreWindow.PointerCursor; //Set cursor of current core window
Window.Current.CoreWindow.PointerCursor = Cursor; }
private void txtBlock_PointerExited_1(object sender, PointerRoutedEventArgs e) {
//Reset pointer cursor on mouse pointer exits
Window.Current.CoreWindow.PointerCursor = m_defaultCursor; }
