Purpose and use of pointer in toolbox

Today I am writing a blog about the use of pointer in tool box in visual studio
Most of the people has misconception about the pointer that it is a control like others
although pointer is not a control but it is actually use for deselect the control you
previously selected from the tool box :)

Question is why it need?

Pointer has logic in desktop application because when you select any control from tool box
the framework make reference of that control and when you click on form that control is
drop on desktop form until you deselect it by clicking on pointer in tool box.
But pointer is illogical in web application because it has not make reference by clicking a control.

You’ve probably noticed how the pointer control is sticky at the top of each tab group.
This is because whenever a control is selected in the Toolbox, the mouse pointer automatically becomes a "drag" for that control,
meaning that you just have to put your mouse pointer onto the form and click, and the control is dropped.
 You don’t have to hold down any keys to do the actual drag.
But you may not actually way to do a drop at this time.
So you can put the focus on the Pointer control to ensure that you don’t accidentally do a drop.

Summary :
On a click of an item in Tool Box it gets selected.
To deselect that item the pointer can be clicked. It’s not a separate control.

Happy Coding :)
