Pete,

I've noticed the same things but haven't really given it too much 
thought.  

Maybe what should happen is in setMousePointer if you pass a window it 
should set the mouse pointer for ALL child controls of that window?

As far as the different pointer not appearing, in my experience it seems 
that the mouse pointer doesn't get updated unless you stick a few 
doEvents() in the code following the setMousePointer().  I can only 
assume that Windows has to get back control to make the mouse change and 
if you have long running code after setMousePointer() Windows never gets 
a chance.  

Derek, any thoughts?
