I just tried that in an ordinary Window and it works fine. Can you show some more of your code? And please show the actual C code that compiles, what you have above is not real C code.

yes not c code and except who works with c and c# nobody knows api function

I have no idea what that is supposed to mean. I asked a simple question: please show the actual code that you are using to change the cursor. The statements in your question are not proper C, C++ or C#.

I Subclassed the Edit Control In #3270 And Draw A button Shaped with DrawFrameControl function at the Right Side Of The Edit Control , when cursor move to that area i want to change cursor in that Rectangle area

i have to mention that In WM_NCHITTEST i Used PtinRect And during Cursor Move To this Rectangle area ( Means Button Shaped : Drawn The right Side Of Edit ) Write "Break" ( Equivalant in vb is " Exit Function " ) , if use break in this window message the Cusror is same as when you are out of control ( Means Arrow
Type ) but if you write code in WM_LBUTTONDOWN It does not work because use "break" in WM_NCHITTEST

Case WM_SETCURSOR
DIM P AS POINTAPI
GETCURSORPOS P
SCREENTOCLIENT HWND,P
If PtInRect(BUTTONRECT,P.X,P.Y) Then
SetCursor LoadCursorA(0,32519&)
End If

What programming language are you using? It looks like VB.NET but I was not aware that you could access the Win32 API directly.

if use return 1 , will be reset cursor in that rectangle area to arrow ?

i could not put a gif file here to show my purpose

in fact The way of writing code in vb,vb.net,c# is not same but the Api function is one for all
