Created hand To use as cursor now how to add it so I can use it in the game. It says this

Values 2 to 31 are custom cursors that can be specified in the project media section and selected with this command.


But I am not sure exactly how to do that. Some help would be nice Please

This command will change the cursor that belongs to the mouse pointer. A value of zero uses the applications arrow cursor and a value of one will use the hourglass cursor. Values 2 to 31 are custom cursors that can be specified in the project media section and selected with this command.

This is from the information thing. I think this explains it all.

i would look into turning the mouse cursor off and replacing it with a sprite at the mousex, mousey locations. That will give you greater flexibility

That documentation is unconverted from DBPro. Within the IDE, you could specify .cur or .bmp files to use as cursors, information about which would be stored the in the project file, and could then be used with 'change mouse'. This does not apply to VC++ or the GDK. As far as I know, all you can do with dbChangeMouse is go from the pointer to a waiting cursor. (the hourglass)

You would use it by first loading it using the user32 function LoadImage, then setting it using the user32 function, SetCursor

The HINSTANCE needed for LoadImage can be gotten from GlobStruct, it is hInstance.
