The CURSORSHAPE structure contains information about a cursor.

typedef struct tagCURSORSHAPE { // cs

int xHotSpot;

int yHotSpot;

int cx;

int cy;

int cbWidth;

BYTE Planes;

BYTE BitsPixel;

} CURSORSHAPE, FAR *LPCURSORSHAPE;

Members
xHotSpot

Specifies the horizontal position of the hot spot, relative to the upper left corner of the cursor bitmap.

yHotSpot

Specifies the vertical position of the hot spot, relative to the upper left corner of the cursor bitmap.

Specifies the width, in pixels, of the cursor.

Specifies the height, in pixels, of the cursor.

cbWidth
Width, in bytes, of the cursor bitmap.

Planes

Specifies the number of color planes.

BitsPixel
Specifies the number of bits used to indicate the color of a single pixel in the cursor.

Remarks
When an application passes a cursor handle to the LockResource function, the function returns a pointer to a buffer containing information about the cursor. An application can use the CURSORSHAPE structure to access the information.
