Need ability to detect Cursor State. So when I click on a button and the cursor state changes to an HourGlass... I'd like to be able to Wait until the cursor changes from an HourGlass back to a Poi...
Hi,
Ages ago I used the code provided below. Sometimes it worked, sometimes not really (maybe, because of some context switching).
My personal preference, unless there is a requirement to check exactly the cursor state, is to rely not on cursor shape, but wait for the target object/control and continue with it.

Call Win32API.AttachThreadInput(nProcessID, nThreadID, true)
nCursor = Win32API.GetCursor()
Call Win32API.AttachThreadInput(nProcessID, nThreadID, false)
GetMouseCursor = nCursor
