Function overrideCursor

Override the cursor icon for the entire document.

Returns

A disposable which will clear the override when disposed.

Notes

The most recent call to overrideCursor takes precedence. Disposing an old override has no effect on the current override.

This utility function is used by the Drag class to override the mouse cursor during a drag-drop operation, but it can also be used by other classes to fix the cursor icon during normal mouse drags.

Example

import { Drag } from '@lumino/dragdrop';

// Force the cursor to be 'wait' for the entire document.
let override = Drag.overrideCursor('wait');

// Clear the override by disposing the return value.
override.dispose();
