hi there!
i would like to change the mouse cursor once the user is pressing on a
button.
i would like it to change to a jpg file i have. (if it's a problem
maybe a bmp file will help).
how do i deal with it?

You may want to use a cursor file ("*.cur", can be created using VS) and the
'Cursor' class to load the file at runtime. Assign the cursor to
'Cursor.Current' or the form's or control's 'Cursor' property.
 
Hi all
I found out some time ago the same probelm and the solution to that is
to use the following lines of code
//========================Code================================
// create any bitmap
Bitmap b = new Bitmap( 55, 25 );
Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage ( b );
// do whatever you wish
g.DrawString ( "arya", this.Font, Brushes.Blue, 0, 0 );
// this is the trick!
IntPtr ptr = b.GetHicon();
Cursor c = new Cursor(ptr );
// attach cursor to the form
this.Cursor = c;
//========================Code================================
I found this code some time back it is really interesting
I found this code at http://www.ii.uni.wroc.pl/~wzychla/cs_enFAQ.html

I think it is better to convert the bitmap to the cursor using some
tool prior to compilation rather than converting at runtime.

ACK, because this would allow specifying the hotspot.
