Delcare a variable in your CFENPGNEditorView class as follow:

class CFENPGNEditorView : public CView
{
....
private:
    HCURSOR m_hCursor;
.....
};

Initialize it to NULL in your constructor;

then in your OnInitialUpdate load a cursor and assign the handle to
m_hCursor:

void CFENPGNEditorView::OnInitialUpdate()
{
    CView::OnInitialUpdate();

    m_hCursor = AfxGetApp()->LoadCursor (IDC_HANDOPEN);
}

Then catch the WM_SETCURSOR message and call SetCursor(m_hCursor) there.

BOOL CFENPGNEditorView::OnSetCursor(....)
{
    SetCursor(m_hCursor);
    return TRUE;
}

Hello,

I want to load and display a custom cursor resource in my MDI-
clientView.
I have:

void CFENPGNEditorView::OnInitialUpdate()
{
CView::OnInitialUpdate();

HCURSOR a;
int c;
a = AfxGetApp()->LoadCursor (IDC_HANDOPEN);
c = ShowCursor(TRUE);
}

The a variable is set to a valid HCURSOR (i think, its not NULL) and
the c variable is set to 1.
Still the standard arrow cursor is displayed, what do i have to do to
make this the custom cursor?
