See SetCursor[^]

You need to google first, if you have "It's urgent please" mentioned in your question. ;-)_AnShUmAn_

First you have to create the cursor using the resource editor using your drawing skills.

Use the following APIs. First load the required cursor using either. 1) LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_ARROW);//User for arrow cursor 2) HCURSOR LoadCursorFromFile( LPCTSTR lpFileName); //Give the name of the .CUR file (Pen cursor file)as parameter. Both these functions return HCURSOR. Then set this cursor using API. HCURSOR SetCursor(HCURSOR hCursor); Thanks, Sujeet.
