The CreateCursor function creates a cursor having the specified size, bit patterns, and hot spot.
HCURSOR CreateCursor(
| HINSTANCE hInst, | // handle to application instance |
| int xHotSpot, | // horizontal position of hot spot |
| int yHotSpot, | // vertical position of hot spot |
| int nWidth, | // cursor width |
| int nHeight, | // cursor height |
| CONST VOID *pvANDPlane, | // pointer to AND bitmask array |
| CONST VOID *pvXORPlane | // pointer to XOR bitmask array |
| ); |
Parameters
hInst
Identifies the current instance of the application creating the cursor.
xHotSpot
Specifies the horizontal position of the cursor's hot spot.
yHotSpot
Specifies the vertical position of the cursor's hot spot.
nWidth
Specifies the width, in pixels, of the cursor.
nHeight
Specifies the height, in pixels, of the cursor.
pvANDplane
Points to an array of bytes that contains the bit values for the AND bitmask of the cursor, as in a device-dependent monochrome bitmap.
pvXORplane
Points to an array of bytes that contains the bit values for the XOR bitmask of the cursor, as in a device-dependent monochrome bitmap.
Return Values
If the function succeeds, the return value identifies the cursor.
If the function fails, the return value is NULL. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.
Remarks
The nWidth and nHeight parameters must specify a width and height that are supported by the current display driver, because the system cannot create cursors of other sizes. To determine the width and height supported by the display driver, use the GetSystemMetrics function, specifying the SM_CXCURSOR or SM_CYCURSOR value.
Before closing, an application must call the DestroyCursor function to free any system resources associated with the cursor.
