m_ChangeCursor should be a member variable of your class (bool/BOOL). For
testing purposes, if you take that line of code out (if(m_changeCursor), you
will see that cursor is changed. Follow the insrtuction in the article about
what it needs to be and when.

Thank you for your response.

I have overridden OnSetCursor() and have inserted the following code, but
unfortunately m_ChangeCursor is undeclared, do you know where, or what it

is,

because I can not find it in help, but getting there!

The Output Window:

c:\Data\Visual\CursorControl\CursorControlView.cpp(127): error C2065:
'm_ChangeCursor' : undeclared identifier

// Message WM_SET_CURSOR

BOOL CCursorControlView::OnSetCursor(CWnd* pWnd, UINT nHitTest, UINT

message)

{
// TODO: Add your message handler code here and/or call default
if ( m_ChangeCursor )
{
::SetCursor(AfxGetApp()->LoadStandardCursor(IDC_WAIT));
return TRUE;
}

return CView::OnSetCursor(pWnd, nHitTest, message);
}

In 1994 I used the code from Kruglinski to change the cursor to an hour
glass (see below). This does not seem to work in Visual C++ 2003.NET

MFC. The cursor changes back to what it was, immediately, unless you put

a

delay in it! Not very good! Any suggestions from the Visual C++ Team?
