CWinApp::LoadCursor

  • Article

HCURSORLoadCursor(LPCTSTRlpszResourceName**)const;**

HCURSORLoadCursor(UINTnIDResource**)const;**

Return Value

A handle to a cursor if successful; otherwise NULL.

Parameters

lpszResourceName

Points to a null-terminated string that contains the name of the cursor resource. You can use a CString for this argument.

nIDResource

ID of the cursor resource. For a list of resources, see in the Platform SDK.

Remarks

Loads the cursor resource named by lpszResourceName or specified by nIDResource from the current executable file. LoadCursor loads the cursor into memory only if it has not been previously loaded; otherwise, it retrieves a handle of the existing resource.

Use the LoadStandardCursor or LoadOEMCursor member function to access the predefined Windows cursors.

Example

HCURSOR hCursor;

   // Load a cursor resource that was originally created using
   // the Graphics Editor and assigned the i.d. IDC_MYCURSOR.
   hCursor = AfxGetApp()->LoadCursor(IDC_MYCURSOR);
