By default, winio@ supplies an arrow for the mouse cursor. The %dc (Default Cursor) format takes a standard character string giving the name of the cursor resource or, if a grave accent format modifier is used, it takes an argument that is one of the following constants representing built-in Windows cursors:
|
CURSOR_ARROW |
Standard arrow cursor |
|
CURSOR_IBEAM |
Text I-beam cursor |
|
CURSOR_WAIT |
Hourglass cursor |
|
CURSOR_CROSS |
Cross hair cursor |
|
CURSOR_UPARROW |
Vertical arrow cursor |
|
CURSOR_SIZE |
A square with a smaller square inside its lower-right corner |
|
CURSOR_ICON |
Empty icon |
|
CURSOR_SIZENWSE |
Double-pointed cursor with arrows pointing Northwest and Southeast |
|
CURSOR_SIZENESW |
Double-pointed cursor with arrows pointing Northeast and Southwest |
|
CURSOR_SIZEWE |
Double-pointed cursor with arrows pointing west and east |
|
CURSOR_SIZENS |
Double-pointed cursor with arrows pointing North and South |
For example:
i=winio@('%`dc',CURSOR_IBEAM)
whilst for a user defined cursor:
i=winio@('%dc[my_cursor]')
combined with a resource script that contains the line:
my_cursor CURSOR cursor.cur
The file cursor.cur is created using an image editor.
See the description of %cu (Cursor) (Cursor) for a further example of how %dc (Default Cursor) is used and how several different cursors can be used for different parts of the format window.
