I'd like to be able to allow the user to select objects from a range of toolstripbuttons and add those objects to a picture box in two ways:
1. By a normal dragdrop procedure from the button onto the picture box. That's easy enough to achieve.
2. Secondly I'd like to allow him to do add the object by clicking the button, so it is selected, and then clicking on the picture box. That again isn't too hard, except that he needs some visual feedback through the cursor to show that an object is going to be added if he clicks on the picture box, and I'd like to use the dragdrop cursor for that, for consistency. But I can't - if I initiate a dragdrop procedure when the mouse isn't down, the drop occurs as soon as the mouse moves over the picture box, so the cursor only shows for an instant.
Any thoughts about how to get this cursor showing when I want it to?
