Switch the mouse pointer that hovers over cxHyperLinkEdit data cells to crHandPoint

automatically change mouse pointer over hyperlink text

created 19 years ago

This is what I want to do:
on a gridview I have a column of type Hyperlink. This column is readonly and cell select is false. When the user moves over this column he should see the mousepointer changing to crHandPoint (regardless if the cell is in editmode or not). But only if the mouse is over the hyperlink text and not somewhere else on the cell (cause of an image column there is a very big rowheight). Is this possible or how can this be simmulated?
In other words: is a mouse behaviour like on a hyperlink on a website possible?
Thanks!

Hi!
You can use the View's OnMouseMove event handler to determine whether the cursor is upon the needed column via the HitTest technique (see the Express Quantum Grid's "Understanding HitTests" help topic). Then you can change the cursor type.
…
procedure TForm1.cxGrid1DBTableView1MouseMove(Sender: TObject;
  Shift: TShiftState; X, Y: Integer);
var
  Ht: TcxCustomGridHitTest;
begin
  Ht := TcxGridSite(Sender).GridView.Viewinfo.GetHitTest(X,Y);
  If (Ht is TcxGridRecordCellHitTest) and
   (TcxGridRecordCellHitTest(Ht).Item.Properties is TcxHyperLinkEditProperties) then
    Screen.Cursor := crHandPoint
  else
    Screen.Cursor := crDefault;
end;
procedure TForm1.FormMouseMove(Sender: TObject; Shift: TShiftState; X,
  Y: Integer);
begin
  if Screen.Cursor <> crDefault then
     Screen.Cursor := crDefault;
end;
Attached is a sample project which shoud help you.
Thanks,
Nicolas.

      Sure, Dirk! :)
      To solve this issue, use the overloaded version of the GetProperties method that takes the TcxCustomGridRecord object as a parameter. In this case, you will be able to obtain properties used in a particular cell.
      I have slightly modified your sample project to demonstrate this approach in action. I hope this will help you achieve the required functionality.
