Description h.hasenack 2015-03-10 11:29:43 EDT 
I want to change the mouse cursor to crSQLwait when overing over a window, specifically a chart.
However, changing the cursor property to crSQLWait has no effect on the mouse cursor. It works for buttons, memos and all kins of TWInCOntrols, but not for TChart.

Reproduce?

Create new VCL app, drop a TCHart on it and set the Chart cursor the crSQLWait. 
Set the window cursor property to crHourGlass.

Compile, run.

when hovering over the windoe, you het the hourglass. When hovering over the chart you get the default cursor.

Today I found out I had to change the TChart.OriginalCursor property. This is a bit awkward as it breaks my code for setting the cursor property recursively for TWinControl's

May I suggest when you have to use a temporary cursor that you "memorize" the original cursor in a local, temporary variable, or if you have to, in a private variable of the class rather than adding a new property (OriginalCursor) to act like the property I wanted to use in the first place (Cursor)

regards

You may have to change the code in the sample to test chaning TCHart.Cursor vs TChart.OriginalCursor
