Observaciones

Preset cursors

The preset cursors correspond to the Windows cursors and they can be modified via the control panel (or the desktop themes). The illustrations correspond to the default values and they can change according to the user preferences.

Defining a custom cursor for the browser

To specify a specific cursor in a page or in a page control, all you have to do is indicate a character string with ..MouseCursor. The following operations are automatically performed by WEBDEV when the cursor is displayed in the page:

If the string starts with "url(" , the string that follows is considered as being a direct CSS value and the value is directly written into the style.
If the string starts with "http://" , the CSS value 'url()' is automatically added around the address.
If the string contains a dot (.) and starts with '/' : the specified URL is considered as being relative to the site. The '\' characters are changed into '/' and the CSS value 'url()' is added around the address.
If the string contains a dot (.) and does not start with '/' : the specified URL is considered as being relative to the _WEB directory. The '\' characters are changed into '/', fWebDir is added before the URL and the CSS value 'url()' is added around the address.

Note: To display the cursors with a IIS server, the MIME type must be configured for the .cur and .ani files. The MIME type to use is "application/octet-stream".
