    Here's a small trick you can use

    • Make a Form with 2 PictureBox's
    • Load a BMP file in Picture1
    • Load Picture1 into an ImageList
    • Use the ExtractIcon method to set the MouseIcon of a hidden Control to our BMP (Which is now in the ImageList)
    • Load the hidden Control's cursor into Picture2
    • Use the SavePicture method and save it as an Icon.


    This is a little sneaky way of doing it but it works well.

    Use
    writing software in C++ is like driving rivets into steel beam with a toothpick.
    writing haskell makes your life easier:
    reverse (p (6*9)) where p x|x==0=""|True=chr (48+z): p y where (y,z)=divMod x 13
    To throw away OOP for low level languages is myopia, to keep OOP is hyperopia. To throw away OOP for a high level language is insight.

    It's in that huge comctl32 ocx, you can add it by pressing Ctrl+T and select Microsoft Common Control 5.0 or 6.0

    The icon is usually under the Progress Bar and it look like 3 white boxes stacked on top of each other.
