Call the LoadCursor() function and pass its returned value to the CMFCButton::SetMouseCursor() member function. Here is an example:

BOOL CExerciseDlg::OnInitDialog()
{
    CDialogEx::OnInitDialog();

    // Set the icon for this dialog.  The framework does this automatically
    //  when the application's main window is not a dialog
    SetIcon(m_hIcon, TRUE);         // Set big icon
    SetIcon(m_hIcon, FALSE);        // Set small icon

    // TODO: Add extra initialization here
    m_Calculate.SetMouseCursor(LoadCursor(AfxGetInstanceHandle(),
                               MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDC_CURSOR1)));

    return TRUE;
}
