The following example shows how you can display a hand cursor when the user rolls their mouse over the Flex CheckBox control by setting the useHandCursor and buttonMode properties.
According to the documentation for the useHandCursor property:
A Boolean value that indicates whether the pointing hand (hand cursor) appears when the mouse rolls over a sprite in which the
buttonModeproperty is set totrue. The default value of theuseHandCursorproperty istrue. IfuseHandCursoris set totrue, the pointing hand used for buttons appears when the mouse rolls over a button sprite. IfuseHandCursorisfalse, the arrow pointer is used instead.

View source is enabled in the following example.
You can also set the useHandCursor property using ActionScript, as seen in the following example:

is it more succinct, if we don’t use event handler, but use the property binding mechanism, as the following code snippet showing?
<mx:CheckBox id="checkBox" label="useHandCursor" useHandCursor="{checkBox.selected}" buttonMode="true" selected="true" />I am trying to implement a way to control FLEX GUI s’ from MFC.Almost all other components can be controlled and their properties can be retrieved and set from MFC.But I can’t get the selected property of a check box from MFC.
