is there any way to set the cursor style of a GWT button in code?

Question

I have seen some details from

http://google-web-toolkit.googlecode.com/svn/javadoc/2.0/com/google/gwt/dom/client/Style.Cursor.html

Did not see any example using this. I have put css class style but still cursor does not get the required cursor style. can any one give an example please.?

Answer 1

This might be helpful

button.getElement().getStyle().setCursor(Cursor.POINTER);  

But gwt prefer css directly

and by adding css style to the button(**preffered**)

button.addStyleName(mybuttonStyle);


.mybuttonStyle{
   cursor: pointer;
}

Answer 2

In case this is a SmartGWT application and you want to set the cursor for a SmartGWT widget, you can use Canvas.setCursor().

IButton button = new IButton("Hover over");
button.setCursor(Cursor.CROSSHAIR);
