Subject: VC++ Cursor mask problem on windows vista

[Ronen Yacov]

Hi Guys!

I've built a test application in VC++ 6.0 which runs on windows XP.
It is a just a simple mfc dialog app, which changes the cursor image
using cur file.

The code is:

BOOL CProjectDlg::OnSetCursor(CWnd* pWnd, UINT nHitTest, UINT
message)
{
// TODO: Add your message handler code here and/or call default

m_hCurPenBlue = LoadCursor(AfxGetResourceHandle(),
MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDC_CURSOR1));
::SetCursor(m_hCurPenBlue);
return TRUE;
}
The image is composed of a green mask, transparent on XP.

While in XP the cursor has transparency over the dialog, running the
same application in windows vista creates a black rectangle
surrounding the cursor's image (It is not transparent any more).

Do you know how to solve this (So the margin will be transparent on
vista)

Thanks,
Ron

I'm afraid you are asking in the wrong group. This is a Windows
specific question (the actual language you are using to call the Windows
API is irrelevant).

Please post in a newsgroup with microsoft or windows in its name instead.

Thank you.

MFC is off-topic in this group, look for one with mfc in its name, see
the FAQ section 5 for more details http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq-lite
