Re: cursor question after modal dialog closes
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?
