LoadCursorFromFile
The LoadCursorFromFile function creates a cursor based on data contained in a file. The file is
specified by its name or by a system cursor identifier. The function returns a
handle to the newly created cursor. Files containing cursor data may be in either
cursor (.CUR) or animated cursor (.ANI) format.
HCURSOR LoadCursorFromFile (
LPCTSTR lpFileName
| // pointer to name of cursor file, or system cursor identifier
| );
|
|
Parameters
lpFileName
Indicates the source of the file data to be used to create the cursor. The
data in the file must be in either .CUR or .ANI format.
If the high-order word of lpszFileName is nonzero, it is a pointer to a string that is a fully qualified name of a
file containing cursor data.
If the high-order word of lpszFileName is zero, the low-order word is a system cursor identifier. The function then
searches the [Cursors] entry in the WIN.INI file for the file associated with
the name of that system cursor. Here is a list of system cursor names and
identifiers:
System Cursor Names
| System Cursor Identifiers
| "Arrow"
| OCR_NORMAL
| "IBeam"
| OCR_IBEAM
| "Wait"
| OCR_WAIT
| "Crosshair"
| OCR_CROSS
| "UpArrow"
| OCR_UP
| "Size"
| OCR_SIZE
| "Icon"
| OCR_ICON
| "SizeNWSE"
| OCR_SIZENWSE
| "SizeNESW"
| OCR_SIZENESW
| "SizeWE"
| OCR_SIZEWE
| "SizeNS"
| OCR_SIZENS
| "SizeAll"
| OCR_SIZEALL
| "No"
| OCR_NO
| "AppStarting"
| OCR_APPSTARTING
|
For example, if the WIN.INI file contains the following :
[Cursors]
Arrow = "arrow.ani"
Then the call
LoadCursorFromFile((LPWSTR)OCR_NORMAL)
causes the LoadCursorFromFile function to obtain cursor data from the file ARROW.ANI. If the WIN.INI file
doesn't contain an entry for the specified system cursor, the function fails and
returns NULL.
Return Values
If the function is successful, the return value is a handle to the new cursor.
If the function fails, the return value is NULL. To get extended error
information, call GetLastError. GetLastError may return the following value:
Value
| Meaning
| ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND
| The specified file could not be found.

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 » |
