    Hello vladd1,

    I think I know what you are struggling with. 

    You may have this doc which explains settings the various cursor states....
    https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/reference/user-forms/properties/cursor.html

    The button likely has a .cursor property however.

    var form = UserForms.SampleForm;
var button = form.buttonOK;

// Moves the cursor to the button center
button.MouseMove();

//Returns the cursor type
var currentCursor = button.Cursor;
Log.Message("Cursor type: " + currentCursor);

    This code reads the current cursor type and logs it. The value returned will be one of the cr* constants (like crDefault, crHandPoint, etc.).

    ... If you find my posts helpful drop me a like! 👍 Be sure to mark or post the solution to help others out and/or to credit the one who helped you. 😎

I assume you are trying to validate the cursor as a work around to finding button state. If I understand it correctly your goal is to check if your application button is disabled and I suggest you have a read https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/reference/test-objects/members/onscreen/enabled-property-onscreen-object.html

    TestComplete provides access to the cursor object via Sys.Desktop.Cursor, which allows you to identify the current mouse cursor shape by analyzing the cursor handle.

    function GetCursorHandle() {
  var cursor = Sys.Desktop.Cursor;
  Log.Message("Cursor Handle: " + cursor.Handle);
}

    You may also need to run Cursor.ToString() to save those handle values.

      Yeah, this could likely be be found at the app level as well.  Simpler if that action isn't specially tied to the button object.  Nice.
