    <p>I think I have the solution: </p> <p>Here is how to change the cursor for 'the whole desktop' - not just for your application:</p> <pre><code>SetSystemCursor(Screen.Cursors[crDefault], OCR_NORMAL); </code></pre> <p>But be warned: any other applications/windows that want to change cursors will do so - so this is only effective if your user doesn't mess around with other applications while YOUR application is busy. As an over-ride, you could temporarily change all your systems default cursors to the cursor you want - and change them all back after the process.</p> <p>I am still disappointed at the MSDN for not providing its cursor types for SetCursor - but fortunately I didn't end up having to use it.</p> <p><strong>Update:</strong> This seems to be the right track, but I can't seem to change the cursor back after SetSystemCursor(Screen.Cursors[crHourGlass], OCR_NORMAL); If anybody's reading this, I would appreciate if you take a moment to provide me with some working code - that 1. Sets the System Cursor to an hourglass, and then back to an arrow.</p> <p><strong>edit:</strong> Sample code for reverting back to default cursor:</p> <pre><code>procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject); var cArrow, cHour: HCURSOR; begin cArrow := CopyImage(Screen.Cursors[crArrow], IMAGE_CURSOR, 0, 0, LR_COPYFROMRESOURCE); cHour := CopyImage(Screen.Cursors[crHourGlass], IMAGE_CURSOR, 0, 0, LR_COPYFROMRESOURCE); if (cArrow &lt;&gt; 0) and (cHour &lt;&gt; 0) and SetSystemCursor(cHour, OCR_NORMAL) then try // do processing finally SetSystemCursor(cArrow, OCR_NORMAL); end; end; </code></pre>

    1. COMSDN wouldn't mention cursor types in `SetCursor` because `SetCursor` doesn't *accept* cursor types. It expects a cursor *handle*, so it refers to the various functions that can give you one of those, including `CreateCursor` and `LoadCursor`. The latter *does* mention the various built-in cursors. And if that's enough, you can follow the other links in MSDN to visit the topic overview for cursors.

    3. COAs per my update above, this seems to be the right track but I can't change my cursor BACK to the normal arrow.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
