Hi,
I'm looking for equivalence to 'Application.Cursor' of Excel.VBA ,
'System.Cursor' of Word.VBA.
What's the equivalence of PowerPoint.VBA?
Thanks in advance.
 
Try something like this ....

SlideShowWindows(1).View.PointerType = ppSlideShowPointerPen

Beyond the options offered in this collection, you will need to change the
system mouse pointer. Powerpoint pulls the cursor image from from the
system default and is therefore a machine-based option.

Thank you , Bill.

I'm sorry I failed to describe my purpose well.
I want my own addin to change mouse cursor while slideshow is not running.
I'm developing an addin to help me to edit ppt files.

Please let me ask one more question.
How do I change mouse pointer while the slideshow is not running?
 
Change the cursor in the windows operating system and PowerPoint will use
that.

Start => Control Panel => Mouse => (tab) Pointers => Select the 'Select' and
browse for a replacement cursor style.

Alternately, you could automate the change (and reset) with a small VB6 or
..NET application.

Thank you , Bill.
That's a great idea . I have never thought of it.
By using SetSystemCursor and LoadCursor Api, it can be done , can't it?
I will try to.
