Hi all,

According to the docs, SetCursor changes the standard cursor of a window object. I can't get that to work and I've added my experimental code below. Game.SetActiveCursor also has no effect. I thought I'd followed the docs and Metamorphium's example (http://forum.dead-code.org/index.php?topic=2700.0) but no matter what I do, the cursor does not change from that set by the items.items entry.

Got to accept that I may be doing something really daft, (I'm rather hoping that I am) but also beginning to suspect it may be a bug. I've used similar constructs successfuly before on other active objects but never on a window. So is a window not really an active object or can anybody point out my error?

// SlatePart1 window
while(true)
  {
  if(Game.ActiveObject != null)
    {
    var w = Game.ActiveObject;
    Game.Msg("Object is "+w.Name);
    var y = Game.SelectedItem;
    Game.Msg("Selected is "+y.Name);   
    if(w.Name == "SlatePart1")
      {
      if(y.Name == "SlatePart2")
       {
        Game.Msg("Slate Two");
        // w.SetCursor("items\SlatePart2.png");               
        Game.SetActiveCursor("sprites\!Items\YellowBowl.sprite");
        }
      }
    }
  Sleep(20);
  }

In the example above, all conditions are met, as shown by the Game.Msg("Slate Two"); displaying. So I believe the cursor should change, but it doesn't.

Hope you can help chaps.

Cheers

If I remember correctly, windows themselves don't appear active, because under normal conditions it would kind of beat the purpose (you can't really "activate" windows). Setting normal cursor instead should do the trick.
