Answer 1

Hello,

This thread is an extra question of Maui - hover button I see hand like in css. Your main purpose is to know if you don't need to add the code for each button in app.

You can find the VirtualView and customize the Cursor in handler mapping.

(You cannot set ProtectedCursor until the Visual Tree is loaded. It's the limitation in WinUI, see Changing the mouse cursor in WinUI 3 #1816)

Microsoft.Maui.Handlers.ButtonHandler.Mapper.AppendToMapping("Custom", (handler, view) =>
        {
#if WINDOWS
            Button button = handler.VirtualView as Button;
            button.Loaded += (sender, args) =>
            {
                Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Controls.Button btn = (Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Controls.Button)handler.PlatformView;
                MainThread.BeginInvokeOnMainThread(() =>
                {
                    ElementExtension.ChangeCursor(btn, InputSystemCursor.Create(InputSystemCursorShape.Hand));
                });
            };                  
#endif
        });

Best Regards,
