You might also want to include "lock cursor" so that it will not reset.

If you do not use "lock cursor", the cursor will change for a very short time (so short you might not notice the change at all!). Locking the cursor will make a difference and give persistence to the object.

You will need to think about cursor changes inside different objects. So consider what will happen "on enterfield", etc.
