Hi, how can I capture mouse over a particular cell in edit table? Let's say I have an edit table which is 3 rows and 2 columns,I want to change the shape of the mouse cursor when the mouse over the cell (at first row, second column)? first I need to capture the event, but how do I do that?

Which edit table, the native one or the SRP one?

@DonBakke
native one

In OI 32bit, you have to qualify the WM_SETCURSOR Windows API message (0x0020). Once you do that, then mouse movement will trigger the edit table's WINMSG event handler. You will then need to add your code in there to check for specific activity and attempt to introduce the behavior you want.

Totally forgot about this white paper we wrote that gives all of the nitty gritty details:
