Contains information about a cursor.

Syntax

typedef struct tagCURSORSHAPE {
  int  xHotSpot;
  int  yHotSpot;

  int  cbWidth;
  BYTE Planes;
  BYTE BitsPixel;
} CURSORSHAPE, *LPCURSORSHAPE;

Members

xHotSpot

Type: int

The horizontal position of the hot spot, relative to the upper-left corner of the cursor bitmap.

yHotSpot

Type: int

The vertical position of the hot spot, relative to the upper-left corner of the cursor bitmap.

cx
