Gets or sets whether drag operation should use the default cursors that are associated with drag-drop effects.

true if the default pointers are used; otherwise, false.
Examples
The following example demonstrates a drag-and-drop operation between two ListBox controls. The example calls the DoDragDrop method when the drag action starts. The drag action starts if the mouse has moved more than SystemInformation.DragSize from the mouse location during the MouseDown event. The IndexFromPoint method is used to determine the index of the item to drag during the MouseDown event.
The example also demonstrates using custom cursors for the drag-and-drop operation. The example assumes that two cursor files, 3dwarro.cur and 3dwno.cur, exist in the application directory, for the custom drag and no-drop cursors, respectively. The custom cursors will be used if the UseCustomCursorsCheck CheckBox is checked. The custom cursors are set in the GiveFeedback event handler.
The keyboard state is evaluated in the DragOver event handler for the right ListBox, to determine what the drag operation will be based upon state of the SHIFT, CTRL, ALT, or CTRL+ALT keys. The location in the ListBox where the drop would occur is also determined during the DragOver event. If the data to drop is not a String, then the DragEventArgs.Effect is set to DragDropEffects.None. Finally, the status of the drop is displayed in the DropLocationLabel Label.
The data to drop for the right ListBox is determined in the DragDrop event handler and the String value is added at the appropriate place in the ListBox. If the drag operation moves outside the bounds of the form, then the drag-and-drop operation is canceled in the QueryContinueDrag event handler.
This code excerpt demonstrates using the GiveFeedbackEventArgs class. See the DoDragDrop method for the complete code example.
void ListDragSource_GiveFeedback( Object^ /*sender*/, System::Windows::Forms::GiveFeedbackEventArgs^ e )
{
// Use custom cursors if the check box is checked.
if ( UseCustomCursorsCheck->Checked )
{
// Sets the custom cursor based upon the effect.
e->UseDefaultCursors = false;
if ( (e->Effect & DragDropEffects::Move) == DragDropEffects::Move )
::Cursor::Current = MyNormalCursor;
else
::Cursor::Current = MyNoDropCursor;
}
}
private void ListDragSource_GiveFeedback(object sender, GiveFeedbackEventArgs e)
{
// Use custom cursors if the check box is checked.
if (UseCustomCursorsCheck.Checked)
{
// Sets the custom cursor based upon the effect.
e.UseDefaultCursors = false;
if ((e.Effect & DragDropEffects.Move) == DragDropEffects.Move)
Cursor.Current = MyNormalCursor;
else
Cursor.Current = MyNoDropCursor;
}
}
Private Sub ListDragSource_GiveFeedback(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As GiveFeedbackEventArgs) Handles ListDragSource.GiveFeedback
' Use custom cursors if the check box is checked.
If (UseCustomCursorsCheck.Checked) Then
' Set the custom cursor based upon the effect.
e.UseDefaultCursors = False
If ((e.Effect And DragDropEffects.Move) = DragDropEffects.Move) Then
Cursor.Current = MyNormalCursor
Else
Cursor.Current = MyNoDropCursor
End If
End If
End Sub
Remarks
The system provides default drag-drop cursors for different drag-drop operations such as move or copy. If UseDefaultCursors is set to false, it is the responsibility of the event source to set the appropriate cursor.
