Set_Mouse_Cursor_Style                                          KeyTTT



Purpose   To change the appearance of the mouse cursor.

Declaration    Set_Mouse_Cursor_Style(OrdChar:integer);

          OrdChar is the ASCII code for the desired cursor character.

Uses CRT, DOS, KeyTTT.

Remarks   In text mode the shape of the mouse cursor can be any of the
          displayable ASCII characters - you can even make the cursor
          the letter 'C' if you feel so inclined!

           The default cursor is a small rectangle. Once the cursor
           style has been modified, it will assume the new style until
           the mouse is re-installed (usually from a reboot), or until
           this procedure changes it again.

           Refer to page 568 of the Turbo Pascal Owner's Handbook for a
           list of the ASCII characters and codes.



Example


               USES CRT, DOS, KEYTTT;
               BEGIN
                 SET_MOUSE_CURSOR_STYLE(29);
               END.


The cursor is changed to a double headed arrow.
