Cursors
DirectX 8.0 has added an API to support high update frequency cursors without requiring API level direct access to the primary surface. For DirectX 8.0, the cursor is the standard GDI cursor if capabilities permit, or else it is emulated with DirectDraw blts. To support the DirectX cursor API, the driver has to return capability information in D3DCAPS8.
The CursorCaps field should be set to D3DCURSORCAPS_MONO, D3DCURSORCAPS_COLOR, or both, to indicate support for monochrome and color hardware cursors. The MaxCursorEdgeSize field should be set to the minimum of the maximum width and maximum height of the hardware cursor (or zero if no hardware cursor is supported). It is not possible to express different maximum sizes for the width and height of the cursor.
