How to change the cursor on Windows without hidding it and using sprite?

I use the tier2 with this commands :

ActiveCursor = LoadCursorFromFile(TEXT("arrow.cur"));
SetCursor(ActiveCursor);

but nothing is happening...

check if you get at first the handle (return value from LoadCursorFromFile)
Quote: "Type: HCURSOR
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."

or try loadcursor as test

or loadimage with uType = IMAGE_CURSOR and createcursor

thanks Markus.
But when I use the SetSystemCursor instead of SetCursor command - it works fine... (but it changes a cursor in the whole system)
I'll try your advise bit later today.
