How do I load and keep a NULL cursor? I'm using VC++6 and want to implement this for a non-scrnsave.lib screen saver. I can't seem to figure out how MS did it with the SAVER example.

Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Marc

Try this:

SetClassLong(m_hWnd, GCL_HCURSOR, NULL);

It works in my window. Hope it works in your case too.

Thank you for the reply...this doesn't seem to work for me. Maybe I am using this in the wrong area of my program. Right now I have this under the InitInstance() func...is this wrong?

Thanks again,
Marc

You can load whatever cursor to the window class you register in th InitInstance(). But you need to SetClassLong(m_hWnd, GCL_HCURSOR, NULL) in the OnCreate() handler of the window after the window has been created.

Good luck
