More cursors for Canvas.

In canvas you can set the cursor to:

Code: Select all

#PB_Cursor_LeftRight: left and right arrows
#PB_Cursor_UpDown   : up and down arrows
But not to the two different diagonals... these are needed to show diagonal stretches within the canvas.

Maybe this is an oversight? Will this be possible in the release version?

They don't exist as a standard cursor on all OS, that is why i left them out.

I see. Could you not put it in even if it only exists on one OS, similar to what you did with:

Code: Select all

#PB_Cursor_Arrows   : arrows in all direction (not available on Mac OSX)
At least then Windows programs may have it...

There are some other windows only features, so i doesn't think this is a reason. :mrgreen:

I need the two diagonal-cursors, too. Please build in.

Wouldn't it be easier, just to add a custom-Cursor-Function like in Toolbars? Just an idea.

I added the diagonal cursors, but it will only work on Windows. Dunno why the other OS do not have default cursors for this.

Will you be able to add a way to point to a custom cursor - so on the other os we can add it?

Yes, you can add a custom cursor, but you will have to load/create it through non-PB means first. I thought about adding a full 'Cursor' library, but its a bit overkill if the CanvasGadget is the only place where you can use it so I decided against that. Maybe in a future PB version.

In the long term that would be good. One to add for the roadmap.
