Load Cursor [modified] Wrong Code
-
Hello all. I created an Icon and embedded it in my Resource file. I've been able to get the cursor with the following:
using (MemoryStream resStream = new MemoryStream(SpatialLib.Properties.Resources.MapTipCur, false)) { this.MapControl.Cursor = new Cursor(resStream); }Now, this successfully loads the cursor but there a huge problem...the cursor is all black. Not the original color. Has anyone gotten around this? Thanks in advance,Lester http://www.lestersconyers.com

If it's a black box, then it must not be loading correctly.

I don't see how this would work, you never use the MemoryStream, so why create it ?

Sorry about that. I posted the wrong code sample. I just edited and changed the code. The cursor is not just a black box, though. It's the correct shape as my cursor but its just filled in black. I think it's a problem with the stream converting the byte[] into an image then to a cursor. I cannot get around it.

OK - there are two special colors in a cursor, are you using one of them ? Perhaps you've marked a transparent area, and that's what's failing to load properly ?
