Presenter>>curor not called by default?

Blair,

Is Presenter>>cursor working as expected?  I tried it with my primary
consumer of emulated widgets (gadgets), and the cursor did not change.  The
presenter appears to be properly connected to the view.  Since the gadgets
exist primarily to limit the number of views I need to create, it's easy
enough to define #cursor in the associated view; that works.

I tried the same thing in scribble, with the same results.  Putting

cursor
 ^Cursor cross

in the presenter has no effect; putting it in the view does what one would
expect.

The VC appears to use presenter/interactor level cursors, but I think it it
might be "cheating" by having the shield forward #cursor back to the VC.

Have a good one,

Bill

Erm, given that it doesn't exist, then I suppose so :-). The actual override
point is #onGetCursor:.

I've got one in my 5.1.4 image (packaged in "Dolphin MVP Base").  I
guess you've removed it because it didn't do anything - which Bill has
now confirmed :-)

Yes, you are right (sorry Bill). Presenter>>cursor should have been
deprecated for #585, or in 5.1. It has been removed from D6.

I am glad you mentioned this Bill.  I ran into the same thing a while ago,
it frustrated me a bit, but since it was unimportant I just forgot about it.
Now I have gone back and added an onGetCursor: method and it does exactly
what I want.
