View 8 RepliesHow do you change the cursor image to an image from the project resources?
The methods I have found either don't work or only change the image within the form, and reverts back to default when the mouse leaves the window.
I am currently creating a program that will change the cursor's image and let it stay like that until the user clicks use default image button. I do not mean like
Me.Cursor = New Cursor("C:\cursor.ico")
I mean as in even if the user's cursor leaves the form, it will still display the custom cursor only.
I have got only this much done so far, and the code is not 100% working either.
Private Sub ChangeCursorButton_Click()
System.Windows.Forms.Cursor.Hide() 'only hides the cursor when your mouse is on the form, need to fix that
Me.Cursor = New Cursor("cursor.ico") 'had no choice but to use this for now, even if when your cursor is out of the form it will revert to the original.
[Code] .....
The code only works if your cursor is on the form. If its not, it doesn't work as intended.
I need the code to work that the cursor will hide the original cursor and let the custom cursor I declared shown.

View 4 RepliesIn VB.Net with Winforms how do I make an image follow the cursor even when it leaves the form? I want to do this during a drag and drop operation. BCL and/or GDI is better for my usecase than P/Invokes.
If you are familiar with PeaZip, it does something of this sort when dragging a file from it's interface.
It is very easy to move your cursor to a specific coordinate but my question here is how do you move your cursor to an image? Now what this would involve doing is importing an image so the program understands it, then finding that image on your screen (maybe through RGB colors). How exactly do you do this? What is the procedure?
Say I want to import this image: Now I want the program to find that image on the screen (THE START BUTTON) and then move my cursor on it.
so cursor.position = new point(the image)
I'm listening for the WM_SETCURSOR messages and setting the cursor there, it works most times, but not always. I've seen two other cases that I need to catch:
WM_PAINT: At least after a WM_LBUTTONDOWN the cursor is painted somehow without calling WM_SETCURSOR... WM_CAPTURECHANGED: Happening sometimes when the mouse is down and moving it.
Even doing all this the cursor sometimes flickers and the original one can be seen in some cases (eg: the instant when you roll over some object that sets the cursor to something else). I've been trying to look for some other patterns or messages but didn't see anything that would solve this problem.
