When you move the mouse cursor over hyperlink in some browser the cursor is changed and when you remove it from the hyperlink the cursor is changed to default cursor.Is it possible to have the same functionality in .Net?I'm talking about RichTextBox specifically.I mean if i move the cursor over a certain word i want a different cursor over this word.I've been asking this question in maybe...i don't know,maybe 10 other message boards and doesn't get adequate answer.Is it really impossible?

Of course that is possible. But I've never heard of anyone doing it over certain words.

In that case a more hackish solution is the likely avenue to explore.

you can, there is a windows API used to get the word on which the cursor exists.
you can see any open source dictionary that translates words whenever you move your cursor on like EasyLingo
