A fool wants a cursor!

[Vahid]

Hi folks.
I've tried to change the cursor property of a control at runtime to a standard .cur file, but the cursor displayed black and white. If it is not much trouble please tell me what I've done wrong.

Me.Cursor = New System.Windows.Forms.Cursor("mine.cur")

Thanks.

Maybe it'll work when skipping the NEW word. There doesn't have to be a new instance of it, right?

or wrong?

maybe creating a local cursor would help also and i know in vb6 you had to set the custom cursor property of the window

Thanks fellas for your answers.

I know only one way to create a cursor from a .cur file. Using one of the New overloads. I dont see any method or something inside the cursor class to load a cursor file.
MSDN says that custom cursor property is not supported anymore. According to MSDN I must use the Cursor.Current property, but it will not work for changing the cursor of control if your not doing a process-time-taking job.
