Custom Mouse Cursor

[Tim]

Hi,

I would like to create a custom mouse cursor for my print preview page. I
want to use a bitmap of a magnifiying glass with a plus in it. Pretty
standard stuff.

How do I change the cursor?

I found the code below but I just get the default mouse cursor dragging
around the bitmap which is actually a little behind. I want to replace the
cursor with my own icon.

Thanks
Tim

**ZoomIn is a bitmap.

Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage ( ZoomIn );
IntPtr ptr = ZoomIn.GetHicon();
Cursor c = new Cursor( ptr );
this.Cursor = c;

Handle the MouseMove event and set custom cursor there
