Solved Mousepointer (1 Viewer)

[Auntiejack56]

Hi,
Once upon a time, Screen.Mousepointer = 7 would change the cursor to a double-ended arrow, but it seems to no longer do so. In fact, it does nothing at all. No error, no nuffin. If I put Debug.print screen.Mousepointer on the next line, it shows 7 in the immediate window, but there is no change to the pointer itself.
I did some searches, but nobody has been interested in the Mousepointer for decade or so, no nothing that suggests recent changes. I'd rather avoid using LoadCursorByNum code if possible.
Thanks.

It still works in Office 2019

Edit : in 365 works too

Thanks. Hmmm ...

Ah, ok, I was setting it in the Mousedown event and expecting it to display. In fact, you have to change the pointer before the mousedown. Got it now, thanks Kita.
