you don't need the mousepointer prop, you want the pointer to change over a item so you need the mouseover then reference the mousepointer

I admit it's a long fix
you need to modi the mousemove event to include something like


procedure thisform.grid.column1.mousemove event
_screen.mousepointer = 1 && same as thisform.grid.column1.mousepointer
Return

then in EVERY other mouseover you need to reset the pointer back to "normal"


I said it wasn't easy, it's probably not even the "Correct" way to do it, I do a lot of things backwards, they still work but.... it is backwards

>>If you set it in the textbox it only works when you are above the textbox, and not for the full column, unless you set sparse to .f. or the mousepointer of the column also to arrow.
