You may also try LoadImage instead of LoadCursor. 
 
However you need to delete the default monochrome device image like follows: 
 
Open the cursor image, select monochrome device, click Image -&gt; Delete Device Image. 
 
 
Then you can add the WM_SETCURSOR handle, and modify the function as: 
 
BOOL CMyView::OnSetCursor(CWnd* pWnd, UINT nHitTest, UINT message) 
{ 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; ::SetCursor(AfxGetApp()-&gt;LoadCursor(IDC_CURSOR1)); &nbsp; &nbsp; 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; return TRUE; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 
} 
 
Then you can use your colored cursor

Hi, 
 
Can someone explain how to set the mouse cursor from a color bitmap or ico file? I have the following so far: 
 
BOOL CMyApp::OnInit() 
{ 
&nbsp; &nbsp; m_MyCursor = LoadCursor(IDC_MY_ICON_RES_ID); 
} 
 
BOOL CMyView::OnSetCursor(CWnd* pWnd, UINT nHitTest, UINT message) 
{ 
&nbsp; &nbsp; ::SetCursor(theApp.m_MyCursor); 
&nbsp; &nbsp; return TRUE; 
} 
 
I'm not sure if loading from a 32x32 .ico file is appropriate. The above works with a .cur file. So how can I modify this to get some color in the cursor? 
 
Thanks
