c++ set a cursor using SetCursor

Question

ok im setting a cursor in a loop it works but when i move the cursor it just changes back to the way it was. im using win32 api and i used
SetCursor(LoadCursor(hInstance, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDC_PROTECTED)));
any idea

Answer 1

IIRC, you want to call SetCursor in response to WM_SETCURSOR . If memory serves, the cursor will also stay what you've set if the cursor member of the window class is set to NULL.

Answer 2

Yes. It is being changed by DefWindowProc().

if you want a different cursor over your window, use SetClassLong(), or, change the hCursor field of WNDCLASS when calling RegisterClass, if you are the one who's calling it youself

Answer 3

也许您可以尝试在WM_MOUSEMOVE中使用setcursor。
