Cursor

The cursor configuration option determines the type of cursor that will be displayed while the user is dragging a sortable item.

For the full list of built-in cursor types, refer to quirksmode.org.

Avoid using a custom cursor in Internet Explorer. Due to the browser specifics in custom icon rendering, using a custom cursor may lead to performance issues.

The following example demonstrates how to change the cursor type to "move".

    <ul id="sortable">
        <li>ItemA1</li>
        <li>ItemA2</li>
        <li>ItemA3</li>
    </ul>

    @(Html.Kendo().Sortable()
        .For("#sortable")
        .Cursor("move")
    )

The cursor option changes the style of the cursor only for the time the item is dragged. To change the cursor type on hover, use CSS.

    <ul id="sortable">
        <li>ItemA1</li>
        <li>ItemA2</li>
        <li>ItemA3</li>
    </ul>

    @(Html.Kendo().Sortable()
        .For("#sortable")
        .Cursor("url('https://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui//content/web/sortable/grabbing.cur'), default")
    )

    <style>
        #sortable li {
            cursor: url('https://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui//content/web/sortable/grabbing.cur'), default;
        }
    </style>
