Mouse cursor while using stamp tool

[Wouter van der Post]

Hello,

When using the Stamp tool, the mouse cursor changes to the stamp that is about to be placed:

How can I do the same trick with a cursor that I want to define myself?

Thanks!

Hello Divya,

That is correct. I want to have a custom mouse cursor when my custom tool is selected. Ideally I would like to define the cursor in code so that it can have different sizes/content (instead of a fixed image).

Hi Wouter,     

 

Internally, we have handled cursor appearance by using an image control (for stamp appearance) over the canvas similar to the one shown in the following link.

To achieve this, we may to use a canvas above the PDF Viewer and handle the cursor there.  

  

We have created sample for your reference, and which can be downloaded from the below link.

Steps to show custom cursor over PdfViewerControl.  

1.       Download and extract the above sample.   

2.       Open and run the sample.   

3.       Ensure the “Add cursor over PDF” checkbox state to checked.   

4.       Application will show the custom cursor when hovering above PdfViewerControl. 

In this sample, we used a canvas (LayerOverPDF) to show popup control as a custom cursor. When the “Add cursor over PDF” checkbox is checked, the canvas (LayerOverPDF) will be visible if unchecked the canvas (LayerOverPDF) is set to collapsed. The popup will be showed when we mousemove over the PdfViewerControl, by setting position and size for the canvas in the PdfViewer PageMouseMove event handler. 

Note: Since it will be handling over external Canvas, the interaction with PDF Viewer might be affected 

  

Please let us know if you need any further assistance on this.
