At this time, I'm not sure how to enable multiline selection on a Tree View.

It is possible to create a custom cursor. Here are two resources that I would look at for that purpose:

- [Java Docs: Create Custom Cursor](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/awt/Toolkit.html#createCustomCursor(java.awt.Image,%20java.awt.Point,%20java.lang.String))
- [Vision: Set Cursor icon manually](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/vision-set-cursor-icon-manually/26069/3)

To simply change the cursor to any of the [standard options](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/awt/Cursor.html), add this code to your Tree View's mousePressed event handler to initially alter the cursor:

```auto
from java.awt import Cursor
event.source.setCursorCode(Cursor.HAND_CURSOR)
event.source.parent.setCursorCode(Cursor.HAND_CURSOR)

```

and also add this code to your mouseReleased event handler to change the cursor back once the drag is finished:

```auto
from java.awt import Cursor
event.source.setCursorCode(Cursor.DEFAULT_CURSOR)
event.source.parent.setCursorCode(Cursor.DEFAULT_CURSOR)

```
