Cursor for HTMLViewer isn't working

Post by Grovkillen » Mon Sep 27, 2021 8:58 am

See this example here:

Code: Select all


Dialog>Dialog1
object Dialog1: TForm
  Left = -159
  Top = 1305
  HelpContext = 5000
  BorderIcons = [biSystemMenu]
  Caption = 'CustomDialog'
  ClientHeight = 211
  ClientWidth = 476
  Color = clBtnFace
    Cursor = crHandPoint
  Font.Charset = DEFAULT_CHARSET
  Font.Color = clWindowText
  Font.Height = -11
  Font.Name = 'MS Sans Serif'
  Font.Style = []
  OldCreateOrder = True
  ShowHint = True
  OnTaskBar = False
  PixelsPerInch = 96
  TextHeight = 13
  object MSHTMLViewer1: tMSHTMLViewer
    Left = 199
    Top = 50
    Cursor = crHandPoint
    TabOrder = 8
    BorderStyle = htFocused
    DefFontName = 'Times New Roman'
    DefPreFontName = 'Courier New'
    DefBackground = clLime
    HistoryMaxCount = 0
    NoSelect = False
    PrintMarginBottom = 2.000000000000000000
    PrintMarginLeft = 2.000000000000000000
    PrintMarginRight = 2.000000000000000000
    PrintMarginTop = 2.000000000000000000
    PrintScale = 1.000000000000000000
  end
end
EndDialog>Dialog1

When I move my mouse over the green square my cursor changes from the hand to the arrow.
Yes, we have a Custom Scripting Service. Message me or go here

If you set the HTML of the HTMLViewer and put some text in it you'll notice the cursor changes to the hand pointer when you move over the text. It works with other visible objects too. So it seems you need a visible HTML element in the HTML for the cursor to change.

I tried setting the css cursor property at the body level of the page but it still only changes it when there is some text or e.g. an image.

Your example has no content so perhaps this issue will go away when you add content. Though not sure what you want to do ultimately ....

Ah, thanks for the pointers (pun intended ;) ) !!

Here's a little hack of what I'm trying to do:

Code: Select all


Let>PERCENT=%
Let>BORDER_WIDTH=5px
Let>BORDER_COLOR=limegreen
Let>TEXT_COLOR=white
Let>BACKGROUND_COLOR=black

Dialog>MAIN_DIALOG
object MAIN_DIALOG: TForm
  BorderStyle = bsNone
  ClientHeight = 38
  ClientWidth = 175
  Color = clLime
  TransparentColor = True
  TransparentColorValue = clLime
  object EXAMPLE_BUTTON: tMSHTMLViewer
    Left = -10
    Top = -5
    Height = 50
    Width = 200
    DefBackground = clLime
    Cursor = crHandPoint
  end
end
EndDialog>MAIN_DIALOG

LabelToVar>HTML_CODE_simple_button,EXAMPLE_BUTTON_html,0,0,*/
SetDialogProperty>MAIN_DIALOG,EXAMPLE_BUTTON,HTML,EXAMPLE_BUTTON_html
AddDialogHandler>MAIN_DIALOG,EXAMPLE_BUTTON,OnMouseUp,CLOSE_APP

Show>MAIN_DIALOG

Label>MainLoopStart
Wait>0.25
Goto>MainLoopStart


SRT>CLOSE_APP
  Exit>
END>CLOSE_APP

  overflow:     hidden;
  height:       25px;

Re: Cursor for HTMLViewer isn't working

Post by Grovkillen » Tue Sep 28, 2021 8:26 am

If anyone is interested, here's a gif showing you the application I'm working on. All done in MS using the HTMLViewer dialog element. Love it :)

PS. The black background with the icon seen in the preview below is the wallpaper of my computer. The purple dialog elements are the HTMLViewer elements, and I set the rest to be transparent. The app itself is a kind of print screen tool that I'm developing for a company that wants to speed up the creation of guides based on images.
