Sketched symbol preview on mouse cursor

[Ralf_Krieg]

Hello

Is it possible to get the symbol preview sticking on mouse cursor while my own insert sketched symbol command is active? Is this a special cursortype or how to realize this?

My suggestion here is to use ClientGraphics to create the sketched symbol preview to mimic the Inventor sketched symbol insert command.

Hello

Thanks for reply. My suggestion was client graphics too, but I found no example on how to stick it on mouse cursor. Only to create it as kind of overlay to the drawing.

To make the client graphics 'stick' on mouse you can redraw it in the OnMouseMove event according to the mouse position.

Hello

Didn't get ClientGraphics to work in acceptable way, but I found an alternative with a screenshot of my symbol used as a custom cursor.

Hi, I'm try to do something similar here,
Could anyone help in showing how to obtain a ClientGraphics from a SketchedSymbolDefinition for previewing it please?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks in Advance.
