PRB: LoadCursor() Fails on IDC_SIZE/IDC_ICON

Last reviewed: September 29, 1995
Article ID: Q131280

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Win32 Application Programming Interface (API) included with:
```
    - Microsoft Windows 95 version 4.0
```

SYMPTOMS

LoadCursor() returns NULL when passed IDC_SIZE or IDC_ICON for a second parameter.

CAUSE

IDC_SIZE and IDC_ICON are obsolete. They are available only for backward compatibility. Applications marked as a version 4.0 application are not able to load these cursors under Windows 95.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
