e574. Changing the Cursor

A component has a cursor property which controls the shape of the cursor when the cursor is above the component. The component's cursor property can be changed at any time by calling Component.setCursor(). See the Cursor class for available predefined cursor shapes. 
    // Create a component
    Component comp = new Button("OK");
    
    // By default, the component's cursor is Cursor.DEFAULT_CURSOR
    Cursor cursor = comp.getCursor();
    
    // Change the component's cursor to another shape
    comp.setCursor(Cursor.getPredefinedCursor(Cursor.HAND_CURSOR));
