The Cursor Class Does Not Support Color cursors. Anyone know how to get around this so I can use my custom embedded color cursor? If you want something you've never had, you need to do something you've never done.

Color custom cursor appears to be black when I run the program. The color custom cursor is imported from desktop by using Resources in vb.net. When I run the program the cursor turns out to be black. HOW DO I FIX IT?
View 2 RepliesI have several questions/problems about Cursors.
1. I have a custom cursor that won't display in color, no matter what I do.
2. Can I have Animated Cursors?
3. Why doesn't VB.net support 32 bit cursors, but only 8 bit?
4. Can I have a cursor thats greater than 32x32?
This VS010 solution is not providing my intended outcome as a custom override of a 'crosshair' or 'reticle' cursor e.Graphics.DrawPath() is the function that isn't working. This
WORKING solution demonstrates how it's supposed to work. The additonal PictureBox added to a Panel is, for reasons I don't understand, not allowing the 'new' cursor to appear.

View 6 RepliesI have a array of pixels. And I would like to Quantize them.
For Example
FF00FF,00FFFF stuff like that, but most are custom colors and are not a standard 256 color palette. So I need code to convert a color to a 256 color. I dont have any idea on how to do this, but thats why I came here. I do not want to use System.Graphics.Image.Palette or anything like that as this project uses arrays for images. I would like to if at all possible be able to convert a R, G, B color to 8bit, 16bit, 256bit and possibly use the HSL or NeuQuant method or something close to that, or maybe even some other methods of doing it. I do need to be able to do this for a single pixel, but I will also need a method for a array of them.
I found this example:
<telerik:RadDatePicker
ID="RadDatePicker1"

View 4 RepliesIn my program I have a picturebox. using the .onEnter and .onLeave events for the mouse I have the cursor change to a cross (one of the default cursors) and it does like a transparent grayscale thing and changes color a bit depending on what is behind it. The issue with that is that all the images I look at are grayscale images so it gets a bit lost. I am wondering if there is a way to use this default cursor and apply a different color to it?
View 1 RepliesBasically I found a code that could find the color under the mouse cursor and put it in a picturebox's backcolor. So I wrote the code
Timer1.tick
If picturebox1.backcolor = color.dimgray then
call apimouseevent(1)
But all this would do is spam click over any color. Any code that gets the color under the cursor then performs a click when the color under the cursor is for example 'dimgray'.
I am trying to acheive something similar to this in VB:
Basically, I just need to be able to put in an animated cursor, and it can't be GIF it needs to be 32-bit transparent, so ANI format.

I am working on a contract to repair problems in a application that interfaces with a custom built digitizer tablet.The application recognizes the tablet at startup, initiates calibration to locate the pad limits and then saves those limits to file.During the run of the application the user has a cursor that is changed to a line with a X on the left hand side of it. The user then uses this custom cursor to click in a PDF document where they would like the contents of the Digitizer pad to be placed. When they click a box signifying the size of the digitizer pad along with the same blank and X appears. What I have been having issue with is that the box and the line with the X appear most of the time but on occasion the line and X appears at either the top or bottom of the box and the click is no longer at the line with the X but somewhere in the middle of the box. This really screws up things and often the user has to uninstall and re-install the application to get it righted.
The values that save the calibration points are bound to variables during the build process, there is a separate routine to calibrate the digitizer pad if the user desires to do it again.

I have a custom cursor for the user to allow them to position text in PDF files. For the most part there never seems to be a problem, but a choice few people are seeing massive problems with this.
One particular client loads the program, and then loads a PDF document into it. Once the program has loaded when the user clicks he either doesn't get a custom cursor or the signiture blank that is to show up is above the frame that is to surround the blank.
The user is using Windows XP on a laptop and the software re-renders the cursor and box every time. There is a signiture tablet that the user buys to connect to this software, and the user also has expressed problems with the Tablet not staying connected.
I can provide pictures of the changes and code if anyone would like to tackle this?

View 4 RepliesI want to create a custom control that has a cursor like a regular text box, I tried using a line and a timer that makes the line 'Blink', but that wasn't too reliable because I had to change the location and background in the timer... I guess I could do it, but I wanted to ask my question here.
Basically what I am doing is creating a custom control to allow inputs as in fractions, sub/superscripts, etc.... The TextBox Control doesn't support text in that many locations.
A user places the cursor in a table cell and clicks on "Table > Background Color" to edit the current background colour.Currently I have been able to detect the current colour (for instance a light blue) and set that colour in the ColorDialog (Colour swatches are correct and RGB values are correct).What I would like to do is enable the user to click on the "Add to Custom Colors" to save the colour. Problem is, it sets the first square in the custom colours area (which happens to already be filled in with another custom colour), rather than finding the next square that is white and set it there instead.

I have been using custom shapes for some time now but the pixels always have to be 100% solid or it mixes with the color I have set as transparent and its starting to get a bit annoying. Is there any way possible that I could take a png image with transparent pixels and use that as my custom shape without the transparent pixels becoming that color I chose? This is what I have: I want to put my image as the background without the purple being where the transparent pixels are.
Me.Backcolor = Color.Purple
Me.Transparencykey = Color.Purple
