    Posted 09-08-2021 02:55
    Hi,

    I have created a custom cursor named OSM-Cursor.cur it's stored within the Images folder in my dll, how do i use it in the RBNControlsetMICursorIdx() statement for use my application?
    Sub Main

Dim nCtrlIdx As Integer

 '// Adding the TAB named Property with the caption of Property
 nCtrlIdx = RBNAddTab("TabProperty", "Property", "")
    
 '// Adding the Group named Web Maps to TabProperty
nCtrlIdx = RBNTabAddGroup("GroupWebMaps", "Web Maps", "TabProperty")

If NOT nCtrlIdx > 0 Then
 Exit Sub
End If

If nCtrlIdx > 0 Then
nCtrlIdx = RBNGroupAddControl("OSMButton", "Open Street Maps", "", ControlType_ToolButton, "TabProperty", "GroupWebMaps")
Call RBNControlSetToolTipIdx(nCtrlIdx, "View Open Street Maps", "View Open Street Maps at selected location on the map", "A mapper must be active to use this button")
Call RBNControlSetIconsIdx(nCtrlIdx, CONTROL_SIZE_LARGE, "", "pack://addinorigin:,,,/" + DLL_PATH + "MI_Ribbon_Icons.dll;component/Images/OpenStreetMap_32x32.png")
'Call RBNControlSetCustomMBXHandlerIdx(nCtrlIdx, "OpenStreetView")
Call RBNControlsetMICursorIdx(nCtrlIdx, MI_CURSOR_LRG_CROSSHAIR, "")

End If
End Sub​

    Hi Andrew

    I don't think I have ever used a cursor from a single cur file. I have always compiled them into a DLL.

    You can try to specify 0 or 1 for the nCursor parameter and the name of your .cur file for the sFile parameter.

    Hi Peter,

    Yes, my cursor is compiled into a dll file, i added it to the Images folder within the dll. How should i reference it from within the dll?

    Your cursor should be compiled into the DLL with a number which is what you would refer to it with.

    Been a while since I did this, but I think I compiled it into the DLL as a cursor, not as an image. I may be wrong here though.

    I created a folder called cursor in my dll, added the cursors and rebuilt it, but i'm not sure how i assign a number to each cursor?
