    Console Cursor

    Hello everyone,

    Quick Question. Is it possible to change the mouse pointer in a console application? Namely, change the pointer to an hourglass in a console application? If so, how do I accomplish that????

    Thanks,
    Kendal

    well i have no idea if it can be done with C#.. but with WinAPi its possible ... first get an handle to command dos then check the position on the curson if the curson position is in the dos rectangle tell it to change the cursor bitmap .. simple as that ..

    I follow you. I follow the logic anyway. Now I will do some investigating to try and figure out how to do that.

    Thanks,
