The trick is using the Application.Get-
ResourceStream() method:
Dim sri As StreamResourceInfo = Application.GetResourceStream( _
New Uri("stopwatch.ani", UriKind.Relative))
Dim customCursor As New Cursor(sri.Stream)
Me.Cursor = customCursor
This code assumes that you??™ve added a file named stopwatch.ani to your project and set
its Build Action to Resource. This technique is explained in more detail in Chapter 12.
Content Controls
As you learned in Chapter 5, many of the most fundamental WPF controls are actually content
controls. These include the well-worn Label, Button, CheckBox, and RadioButton.
Labels
The simplest of all content controls is the Label control. Like any other content control, it
accepts any single piece of content you want to place inside. But what distinguishes the Label
control is its support for mnemonics??”essentially, shortcut keys that set the focus to a linked
control.
To support this functionality, the Label control adds a single property, named Target. To
set the Target property, you need to use a binding expression that points to another control.
Here??™s the syntax you must use:
Choose _A

Choose _B

The underscore in the label text indicates the shortcut key.
