Hi Boris,

The mouse cursor gets set on a low-level internal object that isn't directly accessible publicly.  You might be best off covering the SyntaxEditor with a Rectangle that has a Transparent background and a Cursor set when this state is needed.  Then remove that (or make its backgrond be null) when out of the wait state.

Hi,

I understand the principle but have you some code or example in sample browser using this principle ?

Hello, I mean something like this:

<Grid>
 <editor:SyntaxEditor />
 <Rectangle x:Name="cursorLayer" Background="Transparent" Cursor="Hand" Visibility="Collapsed" />
</Grid>

Then just change the cursorLayer Visibility when appropriate.

Hi,

I applied your solution but my case was a little more complicated because my XAML document has several levels of nesting.

<dockpanel

<shared:PixelSnapper

<shared:PixelSnapper

<docking:docksite

<docking:split container

but solution works very well

 

Thanks a lot
