Changing chart cursor

[kevinenergy]

Is there a way I can program an indicator to change the chart cursor?

I'm doing some data comparisons between two charts using the global crosshair and I keep getting confused about which chart the cursor is actually on.

Hello kevinenergy,

Thank you for the post.

There is no supported way of changing the cursor mode. There are hotkeys for changing the cursor of a chart though. It's possible to use SendKeys activate the hotkeys through your script.

You can get to the hotkey settings through Control Center>Tools>Hotkeys.

This indicator from user alligator uses the same technique for the toolbar they made:

Please let me know if I can assist further.

Hey Chris,

thansk for the response. It is not the type of the cursor that I want to change, but the look of it. For example When using the global crosshairs I want thto crosshairs on the chart imthe mouse is over a different colour to the other chart crosshairs.

Hello kevinenergy,

Thank you for the reply.

I'm not sure of a way to do that through C#, but Windows has a cursor setting where the cursor color is inverted with respect to what it is hovering over. Search Cursor and pointer size settings and set it in Change Pointer Color.

Please let me know if I can assist further.
