The information in this article applies to:

SYMPTOMS
========
When developing a SnapIn project using the Microsoft Management Console (MMC)
Snap-In Designer for Visual Basic, the ability to change the mouse pointer
(cursor) is not provided.
CAUSE
=====
The MMC specification does not allow a snap-in to change the mouse cursor
because no single snap-in can control the MMC container.
RESOLUTION
==========
An OCX View does allow a mouse pointer to be changed from within the MMC
container. A UserControl container object exposes a MousePointer property that
will allow the mouse pointer to be changed when the pointer is positioned over
the OCX View. The following sample code shows how to use the property:
UserControl.MousePointer = vbHourglass
STATUS
======
This behavior is by design.
