After my previous post about setting the busy cursor, I decided to write a next post about custom Cursors. In our example we use an Image as a Cursor source, but you can also use a SWF file.
The CursorManager allows you to use your custom cursors in a very simple way. The most important method is the setCursor() method, which can be used as follows:
1 | CursorManager.setCursor(myCursor); |

Just as the MouseWheel controlled slider idea, I had this idea when I was working on my flex MP3 player as well. I wanted to give the user the possibility to add tracks to a playlist by clicking a small plus icon in a DataGrid. There are a couple of things that have to be done to achieve this:
- Use an itemRenderer to show an Image instead of text
- Put the image in button mode so that it can be clicked
- Put an event handler on the click or double-click event of the image
- Code the event handler

For example, we want to display if a product is in stock yes or no using the following data:
