X Marks The Spot
What I need, is to be able to draw an X (similar to the one used in the expertsexchange logo) at a point defined by x and y which is given by the user of my application.
i.e. If the user has entered 100 for x and 100 for y then the mark will be drawn at 100, 100.
Also, it must be able to be drawn on any area of the desktop (not only on my form). When the user changes one of the values (x or y) the mark must move, leaving the underlying desktop intact.
I thought that this would be easier if I could create a "virtual cursor" (i.e. to have 2 cursors on the screen, my standard cursor plus one to mark the spot) with the crCross cursor. If this can be done I'd prefer it.
Please include code.
Chris.
