I am using winui3 how to change the pointer cursor.

Hello, Welcome to Microsoft Q&A! You could try to use UIElement.ProtectedCursor Property . You need to subclass the UI element that you want the cursor to be changed in, and then add a method that sets a ProtectedCursor property.

For example: When you click the button, the mouse cursor changes.

1,Use the UIElement.ProtectedCursor property provided by WinUI 3. You'll need to have a subclass of UIElement to access that property.

Create a NewButton that inherits from the Button, then add a ChangeCursor method that sets a ProtectedCursor property。

public class NewButton : Button { public NewButton() { this.DefaultStyleKey = typeof(Button); } public void ChangeCursor(InputCursor cursor) { this.ProtectedCursor = cursor; } }

2,Call ChangeCursor method in Click event.

private void myButton_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { myButton.ChangeCursor(InputSystemCursor.Create(InputSystemCursorShape.Hand)); myButton.Content = "Clicked"; }

<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center"> <local:NewButton Width="500" Height="500" x:Name="myButton" Click="myButton_Click">Click Me</local:NewButton> </StackPanel> ```
