How can I change the screen cursor?

Applies To: C++Builder 1 or higher

I can use the Cursor property of each component / form in order to change the current cursor. But is it possible to change directly the screen cursor without having to edit this property for each component?

 

1.

  Start a new project using File | New Application.

 

2.

  Edit the OnShow event:

 

void __fastcall TForm1::FormShow(TObject *Sender)

{

    Screen->Cursor = crHourGlass;

}

 

The TScreen object allows you to modify the global screen settings.
