VSPackages that are written in unmanaged code or C++ can directly use the cursor by using the standard Windows cursor management tools. For more information, see Cursors.

VSPackages that are written in managed code should instantiate an instance of the Cursor class by using the overload of its constructor that takes a handle to a cursor as an argument. For more information, see T:System.Windows.Forms.Cursor.
