The end user should be able to specify what Cursor to be used while resizing a panel. Currently this can be achieved using the custom control below: public class MyRadSplitContainer : RadSplitContainer { private bool isResizing; public override string ThemeClassName { get { return typeof(RadSplitContainer).FullName; } } protected override void OnMouseDown(MouseEventArgs e) { if (e.Button == MouseButtons.Left && this.ContentRectangle.Contains(e.Location)) { SplitterElement splitter = GetSplitterElementAtPoint(e.Location); if (splitter != null && !splitter.Fixed) { this.isResizing = true; } base.OnMouseDown(e); } } protected override void OnMouseUp(MouseEventArgs e) { base.OnMouseUp(e); this.isResizing = false; } public override Cursor Cursor { get { Cursor cursor = base.Cursor; if (this.isResizing && cursor == Cursors.SizeWE) { cursor = Cursors.VSplit; } else if (this.isResizing && cursor == Cursors.SizeNS) { cursor = Cursors.HSplit; } return cursor; } set { if (value == Cursors.VSplit) { value = Cursors.SizeWE; } else if (value == Cursors.HSplit) { value = Cursors.SizeNS; } base.Cursor = value; } } }
