Hi Vlad!

Thanks for your answer! You are right, it hasnot much sense, as LoadCursor() works now for standard cursors. As it sounds, it could be a big problem in other languages like C++. Is it documented somewhere?

TIA

BB


>No. LoadCursor returns a handle to the current cursor, not to the standard one (on Win NT). After that if you use this handle (with SetSystemCursor) to change another cursor, these 2 cursors will be switched. It doesn't make to much sense, isn't it? Example:
>
>*-- This returns a handle to the current arrow cursor, not the standard one.
>* This might be changed, so, there's no way to have the needed handle.
>lnHandleToArrow = LoadCursor( 0, 32512)
>*-- This should change the IBeam cursor to Arrow,
>* but it will switch the 2 cursors.
>lnError = SetSystemCursor( lnHandleToArrow, 32513)
>
>This is why, on Windows NT, you must work with copies of the cursors.
