Mouse icon..???

[MirWraith]

Ok I know how to set it up, however whenever I try doing it, it simply shows up black, is there anyway of actually getting it to show in its normal colour (its a hand).

What exactly are you trying to do with the mouse icon.

[MirWraith]

I basically am just trying to change it to a custom 1. The custom 1 I'm trying to use is colour though, yet when I import it onto Mirage (and even thats a pain in the arse) once I set Mirage to use the custom version, I can tell its using it because I can make out of the outline, yet the entire thing is black.

Explain how you are doing it.

I went to frmMirage, hit properties, changed MouseIcon to my icon, and changed MousePointer to 99. How did you do it?


Also, can you upload your .ico or .cur file. It may be a newer format that vb6 cannot understand.

I'm trying to do it exactly how you've just explained.

Yes the file is a newer format cursor (with colors and alphablending I think) and vb6 is too old to handle it. Try saving it as an ico and seeing if that works, otherwise you will have to find an alternative method.
