Changing the mouse cursor back to the Select elements tool after VBA code is executed

DavidKelly1 — Thu, 13 May 2010 13:12:54 GMT

This is probably easy but I am not sure how to do it. I have a custom tool I developed in VBA; once the tool is used I want to change the mouse cursor back to the Select elements tool.

Thanks for your help

I have been trying to change the mouse cursor. Why does the code below not work. It bombs when it set the value of UID.

Dim pCmdBars As ICommandBars
Set pCmdBars = ThisDocument.CommandBars
Dim pCmdItem As ICommandItem

Dim pUID As New UID

pUID.Value = "{C22579D1-BC17-11DO-8667-0000F8751720}"
'pUid.Value = "{esriArcMapUI.SelectTool}"

Set pCmdItem = pCmdBars.Find(pUID)

'sets the cursor to the Select Elements tool

pCmdItem.Execute

Thanks,

David

Hi David,

There is a nasty typo in the UID value supplied.
It should be "{C22579D1-BC17-11D0-8667-0000F8751720}", not "{C22579D1-BC17-11DO-8667-0000F8751720}"

Regards,
Nir
