Hi y'all
I am currently in the process of translating all the petzold examples to ddt code. I thought it would make a good reference for the future. I am in chapter 9 working with the resource1.bas example. Everything is translated over and works fine except for 1 minor detail. When I load the mouse cursor from the resource file and use SetCursor in response to a
%WM_MOUSEMOVE message it shows just fine but of course when I move the mouse I get this "flicker" effect. Of course, I understand this would happen because it continually calls SetCursor in repsonse to %WM_MOUSEMOVE messages. Also if I understand the win32hlp file correctly, Windows redraws the cursor everytime you move the mouse after using SetCursor. So of course, this is probably not where I want to process this function, but at the present it is the only way I can get the cursor to change when the mouse is inside the client area of the window. Now remember, as I mentioned earlier;this is DDT not SDK stuff. Is there a way I can tell Windows - "Look just load it up when the mouse is in the client area of the window once and don't redraw the infernal thang!"
...ahhhh - pesky little rodent, maybe it's time for some D-Con.
Regards,
Adam
