Change mouse cursor.

Hi, I've been looking for a way of changing the mouse cursor (in Windows mode not full screen) to one of the different shapes but can't see what command I use.

Can anyone help me? Thank you.

(I want to change the mouse cursor to an up down arrow shape when it's at a certain point on the screen that coincides with with a dragable canvas anchor point.

You probably only have to work with HidePointer, ShowPointer, and DrawImage. Just draw your image at MouseX and MouseY, and use hidpointer to hide the normal pointer.

Global w=640,h=480					;Define Variables (I always make them global no matter what)
Global image=LoadImage("image.bmp")	;This would be your image

Graphics w,h,16,2	;Start GFX Mode
HidePointer			;HidePointer hides the normal cursor

Repeat							;Make a loop
	Cls							;Clear Screen
	Rect MouseX(),MouseY(),5,5	;Normally you would draw your image here, but for now I am drawing a Rectangle.
	Flip						;Flip onto Frontbuffer
Until KeyHit(1)					;Check If user has hit escape

Hope it helps!

[EDIT]: Sorry about my unorganized code. I'm still getting used to posting code.

That should work fine for me.

And thanks for taking the trouble to write that code :-)

this code shows how to use userlibs to change the pointer to any of windows standard ones.

Oh yes, I missed that.

One day I'm going to have to learn how to use userlibs.

Cheers Keith.
