CEF Forum

I have searched many threads, but I have not found any solution.
Can we change the default cursor (not in the application - this is simple) but the one, that is displayed in the CEF window, for example an arrow or hand cursor when it is above the link.
When I change cursor in my application it works fine but only over my application widgets - it does not change cursor in CEF browser window.

You can change the cursor with CSS/JavaScript.

Ok, it's an idea, but:
-When the page is empty (when you create a browser without loading the page - a blank page), it will not work. The cursor is set to an arrow. Even if you do ExecuteJavaScript.
In addition, Otherwise, I need to load my own image from the application as png.

This is work but when page is loaded.

Code: Select all

 browser _-> GetMainFrame () -> ExecuteJavaScript ("document.body.style.cursor = \" progress \ ";", "", 0);


Is it possible in CEF api to override cursor?

There is a CefBrowserHost::SetMouseCursorChangeDisabled method, but it is not implemented in current CEF versions.

Maybe there is a signal from the CEF that tells the mouse is above the link?

If you are on Windows, you can try altering the CEF window with SetClassLong(GCL_HCURSOR), or mouse hook+SetCursor, or TrackMouseEvent.

Is CefBrowserHost::SetMouseCursorChangeDisabled implemented in cef 83?

You can test with ‘cefclient --mouse-cursor-change-disabled‘
