The LoadCursor function loads the specified cursor resource from the executable (.EXE) file associated with an application instance. This function has been superseded by the LoadImage function
HCURSOR LoadCursor(
HINSTANCE hInstance, |
// handle of application instance |
LPCTSTR lpCursorName |
// name string or cursor resource identifier |
); |
To use one of the Win32 predefined cursors, the application must set the hInstance parameter to NULL and the lpCursorName parameter to one the following values:
Value |

IDC_APPSTARTING |
Standard arrow and small hourglass |
IDC_ARROW |

IDC_CROSS |
Crosshair |
IDC_IBEAM |

IDC_ICON |
Obsolete for applications marked version 4.0 or later. |
IDC_NO |
Slashed circle |
IDC_SIZE |
Obsolete for applications marked version 4.0 or later. Use IDC_SIZEALL. |
IDC_SIZEALL |
Four-pointed arrow |
IDC_SIZENESW |
Double-pointed arrow pointing northeast and southwest |
IDC_SIZENS |
Double-pointed arrow pointing north and south |
IDC_SIZENWSE |
Double-pointed arrow pointing northwest and southeast |
IDC_SIZEWE |
Double-pointed arrow pointing west and east |
IDC_UPARROW |

IDC_WAIT |

If the function succeeds, the return value is the handle of the newly loaded cursor.
If the function fails, the return value is NULL. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.
LoadCursor only loads the cursor resource if it has not been loaded; otherwise, it retrieves the handle of the existing resource. This function returns a valid cursor handle only if the lpCursorName parameter points to a cursor resource. If lpCursorName points to any type of resource other than a cursor (such as an icon), the return value is not NULL, even though it is not a valid cursor handle.
The LoadCursor function searches the cursor resource most appropriate for the cursor for the current display device. The cursor resource can be a color or monochrome bitmap.
