Hi!
Could someone please tell me if it is possible and how can I have CUSTOM MOUSE CURSORS under jdk1.1.8? (warning! I am not talking about jdk1.2.2 or later. createCustomCursor of java Toolkit doesn't work)
For example if I can have an image or icon in the place of the mouse cursor. Again I am talking about jdk1.1.8 or earlier and NOT jdk1.2.2
Thanx
Athan
Dear Athan,
I don't think its possible to do this on such an early release of Java. At this time Java was using peers to create GUI functionality (the peers being GUI components that are controlled by the native OS). This means that any functionality that is possible on the native OS is unavailable if Java does not have the methods/classes with which to access it.
The Cursor class I believe is available in jdk1.1.8 however as you point out the Toolkit method for creating a custom cursor is unavailable until 1.2.
I know you probably knew this anyway but since no-one had posted I thought I might.
Regards,
Mark :?
