damn icons!!!

[ae_jester]

I'm setting the icon of my picture box to vbCrossHairs when I click on the 'zoom window' button that I have on top of the screen.

However, the damn picture box displays a I-beam after doing this and NOT the crosshair icon.

What the heck is going on?

Private Sub cmdZoomWindow_Click()
    picMap.MousePointer = vbCrossHairs
End Sub

Does anyone know where I can find this icon on the web?

Try

Private Sub cmdZoomWindow_Click()
    picMap.MousePointer = [color="#FF0000"]vbCrosshair[/color]
End Sub

All of your windows cursors are in the directory C:\Windows\Cursors (OR C:\Winnt\Cursors on NT systems).

In response to john, that is what i tried, I just made a typo when typing it in here.

I also tried using a .cur (cursor) file and using the loadPicture method to load it in.......but I still don't get anything. The weird thing is, that another button is changing the icon to a .ico file which actually does work.

Do .cur files not work with the icon when using loadpicture?

Hmm, it's working for me the way I posted it.

This is also working for me...

Set Picture1.MouseIcon = LoadPicture("C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\Common\Graphics\Cursors\cross03.cur")
    Picture1.MousePointer = 99
