Cursor
Author
Hey all,
I''m trying to create that when user press a button the cursor changes.
Now i declare this before WM_create as a global:
HCURSOR gold = LoadCursor(hinstance, "gold_d.cur");
Then in the WM_command:
if (LOWORD(wparam) == 100)
{
SetCursor(gold);
} // end if
The only problem is that i need to put hinstance as a global varibale and i don''t know how to do it.
Maybe there is another way doing what i want?
Thanks in advance

Uhm, go back and read your programming book, somewhere around page 4. A global variable is a variable outside of the scope of any function.
Oh, the hell with it, I''ll show you and get this over with now
#include <windows.h>HINSTANCE hInstanceGlobal;int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE prev, LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nCmdShow){ hInstanceGlobal=hInstance; //whatever else you want to do here} Do you use your powers for good or for awesome?

Problem is, you can''t (or shouldn''t) do that - try to initialize global variables with a function call (unless you really know what you''re doing). LoadCursor will be called there before your WinMain() even starts.
Have the global variable as
HCURSOR gold = 0; and then load it in once your program has started (and your HINSTANCE is available to you).

The problem is that i can''t load the icon once the problem has started because the icon needs to change when the user presses a button and that happens in WM_command before the program starts
You can/should not receive WM_COMMAND before WinMain.

Why not? i learn from the Tricks of the
Windows
Game Programming Gurus
And he advices to do that.
Maybe there is another way to check if a button was clicked?

You receive messages using GetMessage or PeekMessage. Those functions take a HWND. That HWND could be NULL but should really be a HWND returned from CreateWindow (or similar), unless you want it to "retrieves messages for any window that belongs to the calling thread and thread messages posted to the calling thread using the PostThreadMessage function".

Here is the problem i have.
hinstance_app = hinstance;
But the problem is that in his code he dosen''t define the
hinstance_app so i get the error
error C2065: ''hinstance_app'' : undeclared identifier
error C2440: ''='' : cannot convert from ''struct HINSTANCE__ *'' to ''int''
This conversion requires a reinterpret_cast, a C-style cast or function-style cast
Error executing cl.exe.
How i need to define hinstance_app so it will work.
thanks
