One can see from what you quoted above, that Custom never was a property. It
is a *constant* which you need to assign to the Control.Mouse property in
order to enable a custom cursor. You then use the Control.Cursor property to
define it, e.g. (not tested!)

  Public Sub Form_Open()
    myLabel.Mouse = Mouse.Custom
    myLabel.Cursor = New Cursor(Picture["icon:/32/apply"])
  End

when myLabel is a Label on your form.

Tobi
