Each of my activity screens uses a unique cursor, and so I have been
calling SetCursor in their constructors.


If thats the case(cursor with each screen), you can specify cursor in the
window class of each of the screens.

Its kind of confusing what you are doing. If you want to set the cursor
of view, why are you overriding MainFrame's OnSetCursor? You should do it
all in view's OnSetCursor. OnSetCursor is called automatically whenever
there is a mouse move so you dont have to call it explicitly.

Thanks, Ajay. My description was somewhat misleading. OnNextActivity
doesn't actually call SetCursor, but it makes a call that creates the
activity, which then uses SetCursor.

I followed your advice:

BOOL CMainFrame::OnSetCursor(CWnd* pWnd, UINT nHitTest, UINT message)
{
// TODO: Add your message handler code here and/or call default
CRoom101View* pView = (CRoom101View*)GetActiveView();
CActivity* act = pView->m_pAct;
pView->SetCursorTo(act->GetCursor() );
::Beep(500,50);
return CFrameWnd::OnSetCursor(pWnd, nHitTest, message);
}

But OnSetCursor is not being triggered when I move the mouse over the
non-client area, unless I leave the window and then return. I would
appreciate further comment.

Try setting the cursor in OnSetCursor instead of in OnNextActivity. In
OnNextActivity, put a flag which will know that the cursor needs to be
changed.

I have a dialog that opens with dlg.DoModal(). I close it by clicking
on one of two buttons, both of which do essentially the same thing:

CMainFrame* main = (CMainFrame*)AfxGetMainWnd();
CRoom101View* pView = (CRoom101View*) main->GetActiveView();
// now go to the lesson button screen
pView->PostMessage(WM_NEXTACTIVITY, 888);
CDialog::OnCancel();

That view::OnNextActivity call results in a call to SetCursor:

::SetCursor(AfxGetApp()->LoadCursor(m_uCurrentCursor) );

After the dialog closes, I get the custom cursor I'm expecting over my
view, but apparently due to the PostMessage, the cursor will not
revert to the standard Windows cursor when I move it over the
non-client area, i.e. title bar, until I click on the window. What do
I need to do?
