On which line of LoadAnimatedCursor does it fail on? We can't really guess,
but you have the tool in front of you to find the problem. Step through the
code and check the retun value of the functions called to see which one is
failing!

Hello,

I am trying to display an animated cursor.
I found several examples, but none of the
examples seem to work in my SDI app.
When I use the anmiated cursor, the cursor
completely vanishes.

How can I display an animated cursor in an
SDI app? VS2008 MFC

BOOL CMyFormView::OnSetCursor(CWnd* pWnd, UINT nHitTest, UINT message)
{

// ::SetCursor(AfxGetApp()->LoadStandardCursor(IDC_WAIT)) ; //this
works
::SetCursor(LoadAnimatedCursor(IDR_HOURGLASS)); //this fails

return true;
}

HCURSOR CMyFormView::LoadAnimatedCursor(UINT nResID)
{
HRSRC
hRes=FindResource(AfxGetInstanceHandle(),MAKEINTRESOURCE(nResID),"ANICURSORS");
DWORD dwSize=SizeofResource(AfxGetInstanceHandle(),hRes);
HGLOBAL hGlob=LoadResource(AfxGetInstanceHandle(),hRes);
LPBYTE pBytes=(LPBYTE)LockResource(hGlob);
HCURSOR
hCur=(HCURSOR)CreateIconFromResource(pBytes,dwSize,FALSE,0x00030000);
return hCur;
}

TIA,
-jc
