Hi Sakari,

Others already suggested trapping the 'mouseWithin'
message, or polling every 100 milliseconds using a
'send in time' construct; here's a different approach:

##

local sKeysDown

on rawKeyDown pKey
  if the keysDown is not sKeysDown then RefreshCursor
  pass rawKeyDown
end rawKeyDown

on rawKeyUp pKey
  if the keysDown is not sKeysDown then RefreshCursor
  pass rawKeyUp
end rawKeyUp

on RefreshCursor
  put the keysDown into sKeysDown
  if the controlKey is down then
    set the defaultCursor to hand
  else
    set the defaultCursor to arrow
  end if
end RefreshCursor

##

Hope this helped,

Jan Schenkel.
