Using Cursor Functions to Create a Mousetrap
The following example uses the
SetCursorPos,
GetCursorPos,
CreateCursor,
LoadCursor, and
SetCursor functions to create a simple mousetrap. It also uses cursor and timer
functions to monitor the cursor's position every 10 seconds. If the cursor position
has not changed in the last 10 seconds and the application's main window is
minimized, the application changes the cursor and moves it to the mousetrap icon.
An example for a similar mousetrap is included in
Icons. It uses the
LoadCursor and
LoadIcon functions instead of the more device-dependent
CreateCursor and
CreateIcon functions.
