@Laxmikant_Yadav AND @johny10151981: Thanks for the above help. I have successfully implemented it in windows. Do u have any idea like how to implement the same in MAC OS X ???

Its helping a lot... Thanks..:)

@Laxmikant_Yadav: great idea...Thanks...PORT_INFO_(1,2,3) also helps.
Thanks again...

Thanks for the help.
I have proposed the solution i hav implemented in which I store all the handles coordinates, if i rotate the shape, then i sort the points and assign lowest x as Top-Left then i display the cursor based on the angle of the shape

Have added <pre> tag. and this is the solution i have implemented.

I agree with you oliver. Thanks for the help.

ya. you are absolutely right. It wont be top-left anymore. After rotating( including handles) you will get 8 new points(for ex: consider you rotate a rectangle clockwise by 30 degree),then which point will you consider as top-left and why??

Please consider coordinate system Top-Left (x,y)=(0,0).
And also consider the bounding rectangle can be rotated, which affects values of Handles.

Thanks for the solution . I have implemented the same. But the the solution you have provided fails when i decrease the size of the ellipse.

When i decrease the size of an ellipse the handles wont be available at 22.5 degree...

By which wrong cursors are displayed. Ex:
TopRightShape = LeftRightArrowShape.... etc

the order in which i passed the handles to sort is vector<crect> vectHandleRects;

// vectHandleRects.push_back(CRect(m_TopLeftRect.TopLeft(), m_TopLeftRect.BottomRight()));

// vectHandleRects.push_back(CRect(m_MidLeftRect.TopLeft(), m_MidLeftRect.BottomRight()));

// vectHandleRects.push_back(CRect(m_BottomLeftRect.TopLeft(), m_BottomLeftRect.BottomRight()));

// vectHandleRects.push_back(CRect(m_MidTopRect.TopLeft(), m_MidTopRect.BottomRight()));

// vectHandleRects.push_back(CRect(m_MidBottomRect.TopLeft(), m_MidBottomRect.BottomRight()));

// vectHandleRects.push_back(CRect(m_TopRightRect.TopLeft(), m_TopRightRect.BottomRight()));

// vectHandleRects.push_back(CRect(m_MidRightRect.TopLeft(), m_MidRightRect.BottomRight()));

// vectHandleRects.push_back(CRect(m_BottomRightRect.TopLeft(), m_BottomRightRect.BottomRight()));

The problem is with rearranging the coordinates after i rotate,
If i roatate the ellipse slightly towards right (try in MS-WoRD). Which point do i consider as Top-Left?
struct SortingFunction
{
bool operator()(const CRect& a, const CRect& b)
{
if (a.left == b.left)
return a.top <= b.top;
else
return a.left < b.left;
}
I tried to rearrange with the above code. But it dint work for many cases.
Getting the top-left point after I rotate the ellipse is the main big problem i am facing right now.

Thanks for your replying. I have updated the question.
Please check it.
