>See my reply. The problem here is not woith the gird it is the fact that there are a nymber of diffreent objects that make up the grid and they each want to set the mouse pointer fior their own purposes. You need to handle the situation in every object involved.

There is no need for an API call here and there is nothing worng here. Simply something misunderstood, that being that the grid is ciomplex and is comprised of more than one object..

Ah, thanks for setting the record straight on that. Actually, I use the API calls mostly for the hand pointer on grid columns (where mousepointer doesn't work), and know that it works for arrows, too -- since I already have the mechanism in place, I can use it for any type of cursor...but if you only want standard arrows, your solution certainly makes better sense...
