My goal is to have the cursor turn into an "Ibeam" when the mouse is hovering over a cell that is read-only. However I'm having no luck. Is there a better way to accomplish this?

VB

Private Sub DataGridView1_MouseHover(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles DataGridView1.MouseHover
      If DataGridView1.CurrentCell.ReadOnly = True Then
          DataGridView1.Cursor = Cursors.IBeam 
      Else
          DataGridView1.Cursor = Cursors.Default
      End If
  End Sub



  Private Sub DataGridView1_MouseLeave(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles DataGridView1.MouseLeave
      DataGridView1.Cursor = Cursors.Default
  End Sub

I have som equestion here, is this WinForm or WPF, In that case it is a VSTO problem. If you use Excel macro programming it is called VBA, but your datagridview seems it is not or?

VB

Private Sub DataGridView1_CellMouseMove(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles DataGridView1.CellMouseMove

    Dim columnIndex as Integer = e.ColumnIndex

    If DataGridView1.Columns(columnIndex).ReadOnly Then
        Cursor.Current = Cursors.IBeam
    Else
        Cursor.Current = Cursors.Default
    End If
End Sub

Have you tested on cell enter and leave versus hover?

Found this here ... Change mouse cursor on DataGridViewCell Hover[^]

HTH I don't have time to test. :)
