[solved] Mouse cursor - Custom / loading

[typo]

Create one near the final end of your unit:

Code: [Select]

initialization
{$I myresource.lrs}
end.

@Typo: that was there!

Replace "myresource" with the resource name shown by LazRes.

Code: [Select]

Screen.Cursors[1] := LoadCursorFromLazarusResource('cursorname'); 

On Windows, make a BAT file with the following code:

Code: [Select]

lazres myresource.lrs cursorname.cur
pause

and use it instead of running LazRes directly. Then you will see the resource name shown by LazRes.

@Typo & all: Thank you! Finally works, that was kind of a trick )

Furthermore, how can we put that cursor file(s) inside .exe file?

[User137]

Aren't resources are always added inside .exe? And if you were to use an image you can add and load it from the resource.

[Vlado]

Huh, thanks! Didn't know that! I thought that resources are external files, but it seems that they are inside .exe.
