How to Change the Cursor

santhoshv84

Hello Everyone, I am using a Dialog Application, in which i am using two sliding dialogs for customizing the main dialog. I want to change the cursor for each sliding dialog. Should be Bitmap. Tell me if any one knows it.

Thanks and Regards. SANTHOSH V

Did you use of CreateCursor for create it and SetCursor for set it?

I used CreateCursor and SetCursor. It is working in main dialog. But, it is not working in the sliding dailogs. There are two sliding dialogs. I am want to use company logo as a cursor.

Thanks and Regards. SANTHOSH V

It sounds like you need to handle WM_SETCURSOR in your sliding dialogs. But this would only handle the cursor on the dialog itself, not on any buttons, static controls etc. To handle all those cases would be possible by using subclassed controls also, but it sounds like rather a lot of work... You also have the separate problem of turning an arbitary bitmap into a cursor! Iain.

Are the sliding dialogs coordinates fixed? You can get the dimensions and position of the dialogs. Then get the position of the mouse according to the main frame or the desktop and, if you are inside of the region ocuped by your dialog when is visible... then change the cursor to the one you want. I made it in my project when being over one bitmap (that represents an element that can be configured in advanced window), and changing cursor depending on the element.

Are those dialogs responding to the WM_SETCURSOR message?
