Hi,
I've created a animated cursor which is 32x32 RGB/A. I tried to load it in my project (VS6) but it's not loading. Here are the steps I've done plus some code:
1. I've add my cursor (named 'OrangeWait.ani') in res folder,
2. defined new ID for it in 'resource.h'

#define IDR_WAIT_CURSOR					124<br />

3. added line in *.rc file

IDR_WAIT_CURSOR	ANICURSOR	"res\\OrangeWait.ani"<br />

4. and added some code for testing

HCURSOR hCWait = ::LoadCursor(AfxGetInstanceHandle(),MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDR_WAIT_CURSOR));
if(!hCWait)
{
    AfxMessageBox("Can't load Wait cursor!");
    return;
}
HCURSOR hCStandard = ::LoadCursor(NULL,IDC_ARROW);
if(!hCStandard) AfxMessageBox("Can't load Standard cursor!");
SetCursor(hCWait);
Sleep(3000);
SetCursor(hCStandard);

When I start the app I get message "Can't load Wait cursor!".
Any idea?
Thanks...

Just worked out.
It seems I forget to rebuild.
Funny.

It's odd!!!
I've changed the animated cursor for another one and replace it. Rebuild and back to "Can't load Wait cursor!" message.
I've double checked everything but no, still wont work. Now it seams as rebuilding isn't the issue here.
I even try to go back but to my original ani cursor still can't load it?! Then I tried to import animated cursors in the following way:
- On Insert Resources dialog box clicked Import
- Imported my animated cursors
- Specified 'ANICURSORS' as type, and clicked 'OK'

, but this too didn't give desired result. The same msg displayed.
Did anyone successfully added animated cursor (32x32 RGB/A) and got it to work in VS6? If so how?

I found the new way to succeed, only this lines of code do the job

HCURSOR hCursor = LoadCursorFromFile("res\\AnimatedCursor.ani");
if(hCursor)
    SetCursor(hCursor);

Off course 'AnimatedCursor.ani' is the name of my source file.
But another problem appeared when running under release mode, cursor is not loading. Why?

It's a little sadly when talking to my self, isn't it?

ideas for database to use...

12-Feb-09 22:46

Well I can get really stupid some times can I?
The file needs to be distributed along with application or it can not find and load it.

Obviously if I want it to work I need to go back and include my ani cursor in my resource.
But I cant get it to show (see previous posts). Does anybody know the solution to my problem?

If it's for writing bulk logs, go for mysql.

What problem? How do you implement it.

You need to google first, if you have "It's urgent please" mentioned in your question.

I have Two Dialog box. Abc and Def ok. From Add button of Abc i have created Def Dialog box. I need to do some work in Abc on OK of Def.

CODE:
// Abc.cpp
#define USER_MSG WM_USER + 100

BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(Abc, CDialog)
//{{AFX_MSG_MAP(Abc)
ON_MESSAGE( USER_MSG, DoSomeWork )
//}}AFX_MSG_MAP
END_MESSAGE_MAP()

void Abc::OnAdd()
{
Def d;
d.ptrParent = this;
d.DoModel();
}

void Abc::DoSomeWork()
{

}

/// From def.cpp
void def::OnOK()
{
if( ptrParent )
::sendMessage( ptrParent->m_hWnd, WM_USER + 100,0,0);
// i can do like ptrParent->DoSomeWork() but i wants to user USER MSG.
}

Thank you for your interest.

Why you need messages for this purpose??
You can simply do something like this..

void Abc::OnAdd()
{
  Def d;
  d.ptrParent = this;
  if(d.DoModel()==IDOK)
  {
      ...
     // here you can acess data members of the class def using d directly..
  }
  else
  {
    ... 
  }
}

I hope it helps..
