Custom Cursor Black and white color only????

[govil]

hi

I stuck in the problem using the custom cursor as it is
coming in black and white color rahter than the original
color.

As windows forms does not supprot color and animated
cursors.

I saw one question regarding the same problem as mine but
I got confused how to Invoke the LoadCursorFromFile()
in .cs file directly !!

Cursor cursor = new Cursor ( new IntPtr (LoadCursorFromFile
("Ear.cur" )));
this.Cursor = cursor

Could anybody help me on this matter !!

Looking forward for help !!

Thanks in advance

Hello Govil,

This is a known issue of Cursor class. You may call LoadCursorFromFile via
PInvoke to load it directly. This is a sample code:

using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

[DllImport("user32.dll", EntryPoint="LoadCursorFromFile")]
public static extern int LoadCursorFromFile(String FileName);

private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
Cursor cursor=new Cursor(new IntPtr(LoadCursorFromFile(@"Ear.cur")));
this.Cursor=cursor;
}

For more information about hoe to call a API via PInvoke please see:

Hope it helps.
