<hr><a name="details"></a><h2>Detailed Description</h2>


<p> The TQCursor class provides a mouse cursor with an arbitrary
shape.
<p> 

<p> This class is mainly used to create mouse cursors that are
associated with particular widgets and to get and set the position
of the mouse cursor.
<p> TQt has a number of standard cursor shapes, but you can also make
custom cursor shapes based on a <a href="ntqbitmap.html">TQBitmap</a>, a mask and a hotspot.
<p> To associate a cursor with a widget, use <a href="tqwidget.html#setCursor">TQWidget::setCursor</a>(). To
associate a cursor with all widgets (normally for a short period
of time), use <a href="ntqapplication.html#setOverrideCursor">TQApplication::setOverrideCursor</a>().
<p> To set a cursor shape use <a href="#setShape">TQCursor::setShape</a>() or use the TQCursor
constructor which takes the shape as argument, or you can use one
of the predefined cursors defined in the <a href="ntqt.html#CursorShape-enum">CursorShape</a> enum.
<p> If you want to create a cursor with your own bitmap, either use
the TQCursor constructor which takes a bitmap and a mask or the
constructor which takes a pixmap as arguments.
<p> To set or get the position of the mouse cursor use the static
methods <a href="#pos">TQCursor::pos</a>() and <a href="#setPos">TQCursor::setPos</a>().
<p> <center><img src="cursors.png" alt="Cursor Shapes"></center> 
<p> <p>See also <a href="tqwidget.html">TQWidget</a>, <a href="guibooks.html#fowler">GUI Design Handbook:
 Cursors</a>, <a href="appearance.html">Widget Appearance and Style</a>, and <a href="shared.html">Implicitly and Explicitly Shared Classes</a>.

<p> On X11, TQt supports the <a href="http://www.xfree86.org/4.3.0/Xcursor.3.html">Xcursor</a>
library, which allows for full color icon themes. The table below
shows the cursor name used for each TQt::CursorShape value. If a
cursor cannot be found using the name shown below, a standard X11
cursor will be used instead. Note: X11 does not provide
appropriate cursors for all possible TQt::CursorShape values. It
is possible that some cursors will be taken from the Xcursor
theme, while others will use an internal bitmap cursor.

<hr><h2>Member Function Documentation</h2>
<h3 class=fn><a name="TQCursor"></a>TQCursor::TQCursor ()
</h3>
Constructs a cursor with the default arrow shape.

<h3 class=fn><a name="TQCursor-2"></a>TQCursor::TQCursor ( int&nbsp;shape )
</h3>
Constructs a cursor with the specified <em>shape</em>.
<p> See <a href="ntqt.html#CursorShape-enum">CursorShape</a> for a list of shapes.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#setShape">setShape</a>().

<h3 class=fn><a name="TQCursor-3"></a>TQCursor::TQCursor ( const&nbsp;<a href="ntqbitmap.html">TQBitmap</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;bitmap, const&nbsp;<a href="ntqbitmap.html">TQBitmap</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;mask, int&nbsp;hotX = -1, int&nbsp;hotY = -1 )
</h3>
Constructs a custom bitmap cursor.
<p> <em>bitmap</em> and
<em>mask</em> make up the bitmap.
<em>hotX</em> and
<em>hotY</em> define the cursor's hot spot.
<p> If <em>hotX</em> is negative, it is set to the <tt>bitmap().width()/2</tt>.
If <em>hotY</em> is negative, it is set to the <tt>bitmap().height()/2</tt>.
<p> The cursor <em>bitmap</em> (B) and <em>mask</em> (M) bits are combined like this:
<ul>
<li> B=1 and M=1 gives black.
<li> B=0 and M=1 gives white.
<li> B=0 and M=0 gives transparent.
<li> B=1 and M=0 gives an undefined result.
</ul>
<p> Use the global TQt color <tt>color0</tt> to draw 0-pixels and <tt>color1</tt> to
draw 1-pixels in the bitmaps.
<p> Valid cursor sizes depend on the display hardware (or the
underlying window system). We recommend using 32x32 cursors,
because this size is supported on all platforms. Some platforms
also support 16x16, 48x48 and 64x64 cursors.
<p> <p>See also <a href="ntqbitmap.html#TQBitmap">TQBitmap::TQBitmap</a>() and <a href="ntqpixmap.html#setMask">TQBitmap::setMask</a>().

<h3 class=fn><a name="TQCursor-4"></a>TQCursor::TQCursor ( const&nbsp;<a href="ntqpixmap.html">TQPixmap</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;pixmap, int&nbsp;hotX = -1, int&nbsp;hotY = -1 )
</h3>
Constructs a custom pixmap cursor.
<p> <em>pixmap</em> is the image. It is usual to give it a mask (set using
<a href="ntqpixmap.html#setMask">TQPixmap::setMask</a>()). <em>hotX</em> and <em>hotY</em> define the cursor's hot
spot.
<p> If <em>hotX</em> is negative, it is set to the <tt>pixmap().width()/2</tt>.
If <em>hotY</em> is negative, it is set to the <tt>pixmap().height()/2</tt>.
<p> Valid cursor sizes depend on the display hardware (or the
underlying window system). We recommend using 32x32 cursors,
because this size is supported on all platforms. Some platforms
also support 16x16, 48x48 and 64x64 cursors.
<p> Currently, only black-and-white pixmaps can be used.
<p> <p>See also <a href="ntqpixmap.html#TQPixmap">TQPixmap::TQPixmap</a>() and <a href="ntqpixmap.html#setMask">TQPixmap::setMask</a>().

<h3 class=fn><a name="TQCursor-5"></a>TQCursor::TQCursor ( const&nbsp;<a href="ntqcursor.html">TQCursor</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;c )

<h3 class=fn><a name="TQCursor-6"></a>TQCursor::TQCursor ( HCURSOR&nbsp;handle )
</h3>

<p> Creates a cursor with the specified window system handle <em>handle</em>.
<p> <b>Warning:</b>
Portable in principle, but if you use it you are probably about to
do something non-portable. Be careful.

<h3 class=fn><a name="~TQCursor"></a>TQCursor::~TQCursor ()
</h3>
Destroys the cursor.

<h3 class=fn>const&nbsp;<a href="ntqbitmap.html">TQBitmap</a>&nbsp;* <a name="bitmap"></a>TQCursor::bitmap () const
</h3>
Returns the cursor bitmap, or 0 if it is one of the standard
cursors.

<h3 class=fn>void <a name="cleanup"></a>TQCursor::cleanup ()<tt> [static]</tt>
</h3>
Internal function that deinitializes the predefined cursors.
This function is called from the <a href="ntqapplication.html">TQApplication</a> destructor.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#initialize">initialize</a>().

<h3 class=fn>HANDLE <a name="handle"></a>TQCursor::handle () const
</h3>
Returns the window system cursor handle.
<p> <b>Warning:</b>
Portable in principle, but if you use it you are probably about to
do something non-portable. Be careful.

<h3 class=fn><a href="ntqpoint.html">TQPoint</a> <a name="hotSpot"></a>TQCursor::hotSpot () const
</h3>
Returns the cursor hot spot, or (0, 0) if it is one of the
standard cursors.

<h3 class=fn>void <a name="initialize"></a>TQCursor::initialize ()<tt> [static]</tt>
</h3>
Internal function that initializes the predefined cursors.
This function is called from the <a href="ntqapplication.html">TQApplication</a> constructor.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#cleanup">cleanup</a>().

<h3 class=fn>const&nbsp;<a href="ntqbitmap.html">TQBitmap</a>&nbsp;* <a name="mask"></a>TQCursor::mask () const
</h3>
Returns the cursor bitmap mask, or 0 if it is one of the standard
cursors.

<h3 class=fn><a href="ntqcursor.html">TQCursor</a>&nbsp;&amp; <a name="operator-eq"></a>TQCursor::operator= ( const&nbsp;<a href="ntqcursor.html">TQCursor</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;c )
</h3>
Assigns <em>c</em> to this cursor and returns a reference to this
cursor.

<h3 class=fn><a href="ntqpoint.html">TQPoint</a> <a name="pos"></a>TQCursor::pos ()<tt> [static]</tt>
</h3>
Returns the position of the cursor (hot spot) in global screen
coordinates.
<p> You can call <a href="tqwidget.html#mapFromGlobal">TQWidget::mapFromGlobal</a>() to translate it to widget
coordinates.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#setPos">setPos</a>(), <a href="tqwidget.html#mapFromGlobal">TQWidget::mapFromGlobal</a>(), and <a href="tqwidget.html#mapToGlobal">TQWidget::mapToGlobal</a>().

</h3>
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.
<p> 
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="setShape"></a>TQCursor::setShape ( int&nbsp;shape )
</h3>
Sets the cursor to the shape identified by <em>shape</em>.
<p> See <a href="ntqt.html#CursorShape-enum">CursorShape</a> for the list of cursor shapes.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#shape">shape</a>().

<h3 class=fn>int <a name="shape"></a>TQCursor::shape () const
