I was wondering if you could get rid of the system cursor, over a particular widget. (i.e. Like setting the watch cursor). I want my application to handle the cursor, and just not see the system cursor, but only over that widget. Is this possible? Is it similar to setting the cursor to another pattern? thanks in advance, $$$$ ted $$$$

Look at the cursor routines in the XLIB documentation. Basically, you create a cursor in a variety of ways (from a pixmap, or from a cursor font), and then associate that cursor with the window you want it displayed in. After you have the cursor created, just do XDefineCursor(XtDisplay(widget),XtWindow(widget), cursor). Kevin | |||||

RE: .1 - Thank you for your response, but I know how to define a
different cursor, what I want to do is get rid of the cursor all
together for a particular widget. I will have my program handle the
cursor stuff.
Is there a way to do this? If not, what is the best cursor to use
for least visibility. (i.e. is there a tiny dot cursor? Dot itself is
too big).?
advTHANKSance,

Just make your own ursor with a stipple that doesn't let anything appear. | |||||
