Suppress Mouse Hourglass
 

WinXP, Excel 2003
I have a UserForm with a number of CommandButtons.
I use the MouseMove event on (or over) any of these CBs, to trigger a macro.
The Mouse pointer changes to the hourglass when over the button.
This is all as expected, but annoyingly, the hourglass "blinks" -
ie responds to the slightest movement when over the button.
Is there a macro command which I can use in a macro to suppress the
hourglass when over the button?

Suppress Mouse Hourglass
 

How about Application.Cursor?

Hi JP
Thanks for the response.
I tried the suggestions on the Microsoft site you suggested.
The mouse cursor can be changed from the hourglass to pretty much anything,
but it but it still "blinks" as the cursor is moved - as you would expect.
The Microsoft site doesn't give any indication how the pointer can be
suppressed, or better still hidden and that's what I really need.

I understand, but (to quote Dave Peterson) "sometimes the dragon
wins."
