Globals and Defines
Remarks
X# provides a set of predefined pointers, defined in Pointer:Init(). In addition, if desired, you can also create pointers from resource entities.
Each window can have its own pointer, and various pointer characteristics can be set, changed, or interrogated. As the pointer moves from the canvas area of one window to another, the GUI changes the pointer representation to that of the new window.
Tip: In X#, the class Pointer corresponds to a mouse cursor; use class Cursor to create text cursors.
Examples
The following example provides an application window with a custom cursor:
In Windows, pointers are sometimes called cursors. You can create a pointer in a resource entity.
