    Question Why r the cursors not displayed properly? look in for details

    Hello every1,
    I have a UserControl, I have to use custom cursors on it. I have some 3D style cursors with some embossed effects. Mind u, these cursors r in 16 bit color(or 256 i dont know but they r colored). In the mouseMove event i have set the cursor properties like

    Usercontrol.MousePointer=99 'For custom cursors
    and another statement to set the cursor(i dont remember the command, i think its MouseIcon)
    It works and the cursor r displayed but they r not the same cursors. I mean the color is gone and they r displayed in full black. Why is this happening. Can any1 help plz.
    If Not VB Then Exit

    Vb doesn't seem to handle cursors that have more than 2 colors (black and white), you must either run into a lot of trouble doing it with the windows API, or forget about that idea
    Unless it's very important for your program, you shouldn't use colored cursors,
    Code:
    Temp = Me.GetIQ()
'Error 9: Overflow
'DON'T PANIC! :eek:

    He's got a UserControl, DX is not gonna help much... but yeah, you can use an Image control or BitBlt
    Code:
    Temp = Me.GetIQ()

    For this task I would suggest looking through the Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN). I did, and I found a topic which may be of relevance:
