 {[form.][ctlname.] | SCREEN.}MousePointer[ = char%]
 
 Usage Notes
   ■ The MousePointer property controls the shape of the mouse pointer. Use
     this property when you want to cue the user to changes in mouse
     functionality as the pointer passes over various controls on a form or
     dialog box.
 
   ■ When set for the SCREEN object, MousePointer overrides the MousePointer
     settings of all individual forms and controls.
 
   ■ Setting SCREEN.MousePointer to 0 restores the default behavior of the
     mouse pointer, based on the control or form it is passing over.
 
   ■ When a controls MousePointer value is 0 (default), the MousePointer
     value is inherited from its container (i.e. frame, form, or picture
     box control.)
