<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi all!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I wanted to ask if we should have functions in
the Window module to set/get the mousecursor type. Currently there's only
WaitCursor().</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Sometimes it might be nice to have other cursors
available as well - like the helpcursor or editcursor (crosshair).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have written code
for Window.SetMouseCursor() and Window.GetMouseCursor()
functions.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The available cursortypes are stored in a
new dictionary: Window.Cursors = {STD, NONE, CROSS, WAIT, HELP, PAINT, TEXT}
similar to the windowtypes</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Setting the help-mousecursor would be done with
Window.SetMouseCursor(Window.Cursors.HELP)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If called without argument,
Window.SetMouseCursor() restores the default cursor (same as if it were
called with Window.Cursors.STD as argument).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The GetMouseCursor() function returns an integer
which can be compared against the values in the dictionary, or -1 for unknown
cursortype.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>What do you think?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Also - if something like this would be integrated,
should all cursor types be supported or just the ones above?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In Blender <FONT size=2>BIF_graphics.h </FONT>there
are even more types available like <FONT size=2>CURSOR_X_MOVE, CURSOR_Y_MOVE,
CURSOR_PENCIL,... </FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT size=2>Some of them are just the standard
arrow cursor although they have a different name.</FONT></FONT></DIV>
