LoadCursor
The LoadCursor function loads the specified cursor resource from the executable (.EXE) file
associated with an application instance.
HCURSOR LoadCursor(
HINSTANCE hInstance,
| // handle of application instance
| LPCTSTR lpCursorName
| // name string or cursor resource identifier
| );
|
|
Parameters
hInstance
Identifies an instance of the module whose executable file contains the cursor
to be loaded.
lpCursorName
Points to a null-terminated string that contains the name of the cursor
resource to be loaded. Alternatively, this parameter can consist of the resource
identifier in the low-order word and zero in the high-order word. The MAKEINTRESOURCE macro can also be used to create this value.
To use one of the Win32 predefined cursors, the application must set the hInstance parameter to NULL and the lpCursorName parameter to one the following values:
Value
| Description
| IDC_APPSTARTING
| Standard arrow and small hourglass
| IDC_ARROW
| Standard arrow
| IDC_CROSS
| Crosshair
| IDC_IBEAM
| Text I-beam
| IDC_ICON
| Windows NT only: Empty icon
| IDC_NO
| Slashed circle
| IDC_SIZE
| Windows NT only: Four-pointed arrow
| IDC_SIZEALL
| Same as IDC_SIZE
| IDC_SIZENESW
| Double-pointed arrow pointing northeast and southwest
| IDC_SIZENS
| Double-pointed arrow pointing north and south
| IDC_SIZENWSE
| Double-pointed arrow pointing northwest and southeast
| IDC_SIZEWE
| Double-pointed arrow pointing west and east
| IDC_UPARROW
| Vertical arrow
| IDC_WAIT
| Hourglass
|
Return Values
If the function succeeds, the return value is the handle of the newly loaded
cursor.
If the function fails, the return value is NULL. To get extended error
information, call GetLastError.
Remarks
LoadCursor only loads the cursor resource if it has not been loaded; otherwise, it
retrieves the handle of the existing resource. This function returns a valid cursor
handle only if the lpCursorName parameter points to a cursor resource. If lpCursorName points to any type of resource other than a cursor (such as an icon), the
return value is not NULL, even though it is not a valid cursor handle.
The LoadCursor function searches the cursor resource most appropriate for the cursor for the
current display device. The cursor resource can be a color or monochrome
bitmap.

Nostalgia .Net |
|
.Net is powerful, but not all-powerful, so sometimes we need to use Win32 API for our .Net applications. It's simple enough with Platform Invoke if you have Win32 skill, but we do not always have time to dig the ancient documentation, declare the special types that are compatible with Win32, find the values of the Win32's constants and so on. Nostalgia .Net offers several simple-to-use classes, and components that will allow you to forget about the headache of Win32 and just use the power of Win32 in your application the same way as you use the native. Net classes. More » |
