Winui3+webview2 is really a terrible framework. Many issues in webview2 have not been resolved, and Microsoft is really disappointing. Developers cannot trust Microsoft's framework.

Hello,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

You could try to use UIElement.ProtectedCursor Property.

You need to subclass the UI element that you want the cursor to be changed in, and then add a method that sets a ProtectedCursor property.

For more details you could refer to the thread: https://github.com/microsoft/WindowsAppSDK/discussions/1816

Thank you.

can you give me some code?

For example: When you click the button, the mouse cursor changes.

1,Use the UIElement.ProtectedCursor property provided by WinUI 3. You'll need to have a subclass of UIElement to access that property.

Create a NewButton that inherits from the Button, then add a ChangeCursor method that sets a ProtectedCursor property。

public class NewButton : Button

    {

        public NewButton()

        {

            this.DefaultStyleKey = typeof(Button);

        }



        public void ChangeCursor(InputCursor cursor)

        {

            this.ProtectedCursor = cursor;

        }

    }

2,Call ChangeCursor method in Click event.

private void myButton_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)

        {

            myButton.ChangeCursor(InputSystemCursor.Create(InputSystemCursorShape.Hand));

            myButton.Content = "Clicked";

        }

    <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center">

        <local:NewButton Width="500" Height="500" x:Name="myButton" Click="myButton_Click">Click Me</local:NewButton>

    </StackPanel>

    ```
