Details

When you assign a cursor shape to a widget, the cursor changes from the default shape (normally an arrow, #2) to the specified shape when the mouse pointer moves across the widget. Some hosts do not allow you to invoke the _cursorTracker method while the mouse pointer is moving across native widgets (for example, list boxes, push buttons, and icons).
