VB.NET Winforms Application... When a user starts typing in the search box of the application it automatically populates the name list dropdown box with the valid results and sets the droppeddown value to true... Everything is working fine except the fact that the user is forced to select a value from the name list or press the esc key because without doing so the mouse cursor just disappears and you have to move the mouse all the way outside the application for it to come back and it will only do so while outside the applicaiton.. Below is the code that I am using for this and it should be noted that I am using the droppeddown value else where in the application and none of those instances have an issue its only this one..

In our application, the customer can work with different client projects/datasets. If there are more than a few client projects to choose from, we display them in a listbox to start with, and then it is easy to preselect the last dataset that the customer was working with. However, if there are only a few client projects, we show them as options in a menu instead (think "recent documents"). When the application starts, I would like the menu to be opened automatically and the most recently used client project selected. Is there a way to open the main menu and a submenu of a form and select/focus (but not actually click) an item programmatically?
The old way that we were doing this in VB6 was to use SendKeys to send keystrokes to the form to open the menu and then arrow-down far enough to get to the most recent project, but that is kind of unclean. Particularly, if the user starts our application and then tabs away quickly to work in a different application, the keystrokes may end up being processed by that application instead.

View 1 RepliesI am currently creating a program that will change the cursor's image and let it stay like that until the user clicks use default image button. I do not mean like
Me.Cursor = New Cursor("C:\cursor.ico")
I mean as in even if the user's cursor leaves the form, it will still display the custom cursor only.
I have got only this much done so far, and the code is not 100% working either.
Private Sub ChangeCursorButton_Click()
System.Windows.Forms.Cursor.Hide() 'only hides the cursor when your mouse is on the form, need to fix that
Me.Cursor = New Cursor("cursor.ico") 'had no choice but to use this for now, even if when your cursor is out of the form it will revert to the original.
[Code] .....
The code only works if your cursor is on the form. If its not, it doesn't work as intended.
I need the code to work that the cursor will hide the original cursor and let the custom cursor I declared shown.

I'm listening for the WM_SETCURSOR messages and setting the cursor there, it works most times, but not always. I've seen two other cases that I need to catch:
WM_PAINT: At least after a WM_LBUTTONDOWN the cursor is painted somehow without calling WM_SETCURSOR... WM_CAPTURECHANGED: Happening sometimes when the mouse is down and moving it.
Even doing all this the cursor sometimes flickers and the original one can be seen in some cases (eg: the instant when you roll over some object that sets the cursor to something else). I've been trying to look for some other patterns or messages but didn't see anything that would solve this problem.
Maybe I have missed something obvious. Currently I am using the feedback interrupt to change the cursor to one of the Windows supplied cursors
Instead of using the pre-packaged cursors, is it possible to use my own custom-cursor (icon), and if so - are there any rules re size etc., or can I use something like a png/jpg etc.. ?
