java.awt.Cursor (JDK 1.1)

This class represents a mouse cursor. It defines a number of constants, each of which specify one of the supported cursor images. Pass one of these constants to the constructor to create a cursor of the specified type, and call getType() to determine the type of an existing Cursor object.

Since there are only a fixed number of available cursors, the static method getPredefinedCursor() is more efficient than the Cursor() constructor--it maintains a cache of Cursor objects that can be reused. The static getDefaultCursor() method returns the system default cursor.

public class Cursor extends Object implements Serializable {
 // Public Constructor public Cursor(int type); // Cursor Constants public static final int DEFAULT_CURSOR;
public static final int CROSSHAIR_CURSOR, HAND_CURSOR, MOVE_CURSOR;
public static final int TEXT_CURSOR, WAIT_CURSOR;
public static final int N_RESIZE_CURSOR, S_RESIZE_CURSOR;
public static final int E_RESIZE_CURSOR, W_RESIZE_CURSOR;
public static final int NE_RESIZE_CURSOR, NW_RESIZE_CURSOR;
public static final int SE_RESIZE_CURSOR, SW_RESIZE_CURSOR; // Class Variables protected static Cursor[] predefined; // Class Methods public static Cursor getDefaultCursor();
public static Cursor getPredefinedCursor(int type); // Public Instance Methods public int getType();
}
