A cursor is a small bitmap usually used for denoting where the mouse
pointer is, with a picture that might indicate the interpretation of a
mouse click. As with icons, cursors in X and MS Windows are created in a
different manner. Therefore, separate cursors will be created for the
- different environments. Platform-specific methods for creating a wxCursor
+ different environments. Platform-specific methods for creating a wxCursor
object are catered for, and this is an occasion where conditional
compilation will probably be required (see wxIcon for an example).
The following is an example of creating a cursor from 32x32 bitmap data
(down_bits) and a mask (down_mask) where 1 is black and 0 is white for the
- bits, and 1 is opaque and 0 is transparent for the mask. It works on
- Windows and GTK+.
