How to change Cursor at client side when hovering over a component

[valiahmetovv]

Hello @KlausLoeffelmann

I have design surface implemented for a report component, one of its features is to move report components such as textboxes/pictures/labels etc.

In net462 environment i was able to change the cursor when hovering over a component, with new SDK its not clear how to do this.

I could not find any API to change the cursor at client while processing mouse events at server, so I tried sending a notification with a cursor type to be displayed when mouse is over a component, using the notification API and receiving the notification at RootDesignerProxy.

At RootDesignerProxy i have tried appliying cursor type to both DesignerView and InputShield classes using reflection, but with no success.

Could you please clarify how to change/update Cursor type displayed for InputShield?

Thanks

Those are good points - we need to likely open up the internal API some more.
Let me finish what I am working on right now, and how we can get you an updated API ASAP - I'll start on that next week, and keep you posted.

@merriemcgaw, let's prioritize this. This is good feedback!

Hi @valiahmetovv - @KlausLoeffelmann is on a well earned vacation for the rest of this week. Reviewing the APIs that we need to expose and the issues here is definitely on his radar for his return mid-next week.

Hi @merriemcgaw

Are there any news regarding ETA of new SDK version?

Thanks

I'm afraid we don't at this time. We're catching up on some high priority items that have to get in to .NET 9 early (relating to BinaryFormatter removal, the top priority). I wouldn't expect a new SDK corresponding with 17.11, but there is a good chance for 17.12. We're working out what we can do there.
