VBA Mouse Question

Hello Powerpoint Experts!


I was wondering how you can change your mouse Icon in the kiosk mode.


I'm not sure of the code, but he is what I want, and I was hoping if you
could help ,e with it. Thanks in advance!

1) The mouse has to be a picture. (say a hexagon)

2) If the hexagon touches a certain autoshape, it goes to a certain slide
(Say slide 3)

3) When the hexagon is in the center of the screen, the hexagon is straight,
when you move slowly all the way to the left, the hexagon rotates
counterclockwise untill it is 90 degrees and at the same time is at the edge
of the left side of the screen. It is the same for the right side.


If you can help, that would be appreciated. Thanks!

You'll need to solve two problems he

- Cursors are basically little pictures. In order to make your hexagon rotate,
you'll need to have a series of pictures available and change to the
appropriate one.

- Normally in VB you'd use the Screen object to set the cursor to the picture
of your choice. PPT/VBA don't supply a Screen object, so you can't manipulate
the cursor directly.

I suspect you'll need to find a Win API call to do the job for you.
