increasing LabVIEW cursor size.

[HK1397]

Does anyone know how to increase the LabVIEW cursor size non programatically? My mouse cursor is extremely small and I cannot find it in the settings.

What do you mean by "Non-programmatically"  Cursors are cursors-  They are defined by the OS

Yes, LabVIEW can manipulate and request changes to the OS Cursor presentation .  (See Set and Unset busy cursors.vi's and that subpalette or even Tab or Space with auto toll selection "OFF")  But, those features require programming!!!???T the OS to uses programmatically generated doohickies (glyphs) for those cursors.  There are many doohickies built in.  The size of them doohickies is determined my pixel sizes and screen resoloutions.

I guess, it is the term "non-programmatically change" that confuses me???? When did you wish for a change to occur?

You seem confused. what do you see and what would you prefer to see?  and why would you ask here on this forum?  (really, you might find a good solution here but I AM curious as to why posters post questions like this on a LabVIEW board?  Really you want a OS GUI answer right?)

Have to agree with Jeff that this is probably a Windows problem\solution.

Is everything small? You probably have to change Windows zoom setting. See this thread.

Surprisingly, I get many e-mails in my "Junk" folder that have offers to....  Well, lets just say not everything needs to be small according to the advertisements.

Good catch. Could make a breakpoint thread: "that's no what he meant but it sure is funny".

BTW. The post seems to be duplicate:

What operating system are you using? Is it XP, Win7 or Win8? If so, your cursor may have low C, it happens as the OS ages. My recommendation is to head to the NuCursor website, NuCursor.org, and check if your cursor has low C. A quick visit there may change your cursor's life.

Yes I tried to be funny.  Just take a little blue DDT. it will all get better in 30 minutes.

Self moderated if you all please. OOPS

I'm looking for the same thing.  What I am looking for is something like OPTIONS>MOUSE>CURSOR, and there change the size of the cursor.

Hi,

Does your cursor get smaller when it is in LabVIEW? If so, what is your screen resolution?

Additionally, as this thread is now a couple years old, you might want to create a new one to get more visibility for your question.
