Hi All

I'm converting an old legacy app to windows and all has gone really well except . . . . .

The color scheme (dark blue; White text; grey data entry fields) is such that the cursor is impossible to see in the data entry fields. (Its the I Beam cursor so its pretty hard to see at the best of times!!!) So, when the user is presented with a data entry screen he has no guidance on which field he is supposed to enter data first.

Is there any way I can change the shape (or possibly colour) of the cursor? Ideally would be to get back the old DOS flashing underline (while preferably).

I see I can change most of the normal windows pointers so I guess this ought to be possible - i just cant find out how

Thanks for any info

Sam
PS I really have no desire to recode the UI to conform to modern standards. What they have works well and is well loved.
