# Description

Use the xHot property to specify the horizontal position of the hot spot of an image you want to use as a cursor.

A mouse cursor, regardless of its shape, always has a single active point or hot spot. For example, the arrow cursor's hot spot is at its tip, and to select an object, you must click it with the arrow tip.

The xHot property is the horizontal distance in pixels from the left edge of the image to the hot spot point.

The xHot of an image is equal to item 1 of the image hotSpot property.
