Changing cursor shape

[byork 2,258]

On a whim, I tried to add to the list of the available cursor shapes in the Gauges.H file.typedef enum{ CURSOR_NONE = -1, CURSOR_NORMAL = 0, CURSOR_UPARROW, CURSOR_DOWNARROW, CURSOR_LEFTARROW, CURSOR_RIGHTARROW, CURSOR_HAND, CURSOR_CROSSHAIR, CURSOR_PANWEST, // My AdditionMOUSE_CHILD_FUNCT(2,1,51,45,CURSOR_PANWEST,MOUSE_RIGHTSINGLE | MOUSE_LEFTSINGLE,mouse_cb0) // My mouse codeWith that, instead getting a regular hand shape for mouse cursor, I got a closed fist shape for the mouse cursor (not the Panwest shape).Anyone know how to add to the list of available mouse cursor shapes (that work?)-Bryan

I'm no expert on cursors, but your code assigns the same value to CURSOR_PANWEST as to the original CURSOR_GRAB which it replaces. I Assume that CURSOR_GRAB is a closed fist(?) so it's not surprising that you still get that.Have you tried adding an extra cursor?..CURSOR_GRAB,CURSOR_PANWEST,It may not work because it's possible that the underlying code only recognises a range of -1 to 7 for CURSOR_TYPE.

You cannot "add" a cursor in this manner.What you are doing is merely adding a enumerated value to an enum. As was pointed out, actually in your code you aren't even doing that, you are replacing the symbolic name for an existing value.That enum is just a list of int's that have symbolic names and are used to refer to cursor resources. You can't just add a new symbolic name (which would then get the next integer value up), as there is no cursor for that value defined.In short, you cannot add your own cursor (without going outside the FSAPI, something far more complex than what you are prepared to do).

In that case, you hight want to use the Windows function SetSystemCursor(HCURSOR cursor, DWORD id)I never used it, but it might help in changing the mouse cursor as you wish.Eric
