[2.9.1, Mac OS X 10.6, gcc(xcode)] How create cursor from a resource on cocoa?

[Tank2005]

I want to embed and use a original cursor from a resource data. I
would like to use not cocoa API but wxWidgets API as much as possible.
Are there any good way?

Hi,

resource forks have been deprecated for a long time on OSX in favor of
simply placing
files inside the Resources directory of the application bundle. So why
do you want to use
them for?

I developing a graphic software. But the suitable image was not on the
standard cursor in OS.
Is such this image that packing into a resource directory?

I have added the code for loading icns from the Bundle, I'll do the same
for PNGs, deprecating the former default, the PICT Resource

Best,

I've added support for wxBITMAP_TYPE_PNG_RESOURCE and
wxBITMAP_TYPE_JPEG_RESOURCE which are loaded, so you can construct a
wxImage from such a bitmap and a wxCursor from the wxImage

... from the Resources folder in the App Bundle ...

I converted from png to icns like this.

But a loading goes wrong by any following way.
wxCursor cursor = wxCursor(wxT("cur_del.icns"));
wxCursor cursor = wxCursor(wxT("Resouces/cur_del.icns"));
wxCursor cursor = wxCursor(wxT("../Resouces/cur_del.icns"));

[Stefan Csomor]

Hi

no, icns are for wxIcons only, pngs are the way to go, and you must
convert the bitmap to an image:
wxCursor(wxBitmap("pngnamewithoutextension",wxBITMAP_TYPE_PNG_RESOURCE).Con
vertToImage
()) should work

Best,

Stefan

I restored the format of the resource(http://wxforum.shadonet.com/
attachments/cursor_139.png) and inputted the following code. But,
bmp.IsOK() returns false.
wxBitmap bmp = wxBitmap("cur_del", wxBITMAP_TYPE_PNG_RESOURCE);

I think that a handler is insufficient and inputted this:
wxBitmap::AddHandler(new wxPNGFileHandler());

However, building is impossible.
"vtable for wxPNGFileHandler", referenced from: ... Symbol(s) not
found

What is insufficient?

[Tank2005]

My application is not a application project and is a bundle project.
Is this one of the causes?
