Initializes a new instance of the
Cursor class from the specified resource with the specified resource type.
Namespace: System.Windows.Forms
Assembly: System.Windows.Forms (in system.windows.forms.dll)
Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public Sub New ( _
type As Type, _
resource As String _
)
Dim type As Type
Dim resource As String
Dim instance As New Cursor(type, resource)
public Cursor (
Type type,
string resource
)
public:
Cursor (
Type^ type,
String^ resource
)
public Cursor (
Type type,
String resource
)
public function Cursor (
type : Type,
resource : String
)
Parameters
- type
The resource Type.
- resource
The name of the resource.
The following is an example of how to embed a cursor as a resource within your application. To embed the resource, reference the resource name followed by a comma, then its full assembly path. See the Example section to learn how to load the cursor from the embedded resource.
Using the C# compiler:
csc /resource:"MyWaitCursor.cur","MyCursors.MyWaitCursor.cur" MyCursor.cs
Using the Visual Basic compiler:
vbc /resource:"MyWaitCursor.cur","MyCursors.MyWaitCursor.cur" MyCursor.vb

|---|
| The resource reference when compiling as well as when referencing it in code, is case sensitive for both the C# and Visual Basic compilers. |
The following code example displays a form that demonstrates using a custom cursor by using the Cursor constructor. The custom Cursor is embedded in the application's resource file. The example requires that you have a cursor contained in a cursor file named MyCursor.cur. To compile this example using the command line, include the following flag: /res:MyCursor.Cur, CustomCursor.MyCursor.Cur
