Item.Cursor Property (ExRibbon)

By default, the Cursor property is "exDefault". Use the Cursor property of the Item object to specify a different cursor when it hovers the item only. Use the Cursor property to specify a different cursor when it hovers the ribbon control.

The supported values are:

"exDefault", Standard arrow
"exArrow", Standard arrow
"exCross", Crosshair
"exIBeam", I-beam
"exIcon", Reserved
"exSize", Reserved, use the "exSizeAll"
"exSizeNESW", Double-pointed arrow pointing northeast and southwest
"exSizeNS", Double-pointed arrow pointing north and south
"exSizeNWSE", Double-pointed arrow pointing northwest and southeast
"exSizeWE", Double-pointed arrow pointing west and east
"exUpArrow", Vertical arrow
"exHourglass", Hourglass
"exNoDrop", Slashed circle
"exArrowHourglass"
"exHelp", Arrow and question mark
"exSizeAll", Four-pointed arrow pointing north, south, east, and west
"exHand", Hand

Any other value indicates the path to a cursor file to be displayed when the pointer hovers the ribbon control/item.

Can I change the cursor where it hovers the item?
