Programmatically change mouse cursor size

[Jolt]

LV 8.5 on Windows XP

Is there a way to change the size of the mouse cursor (custom or otherwise) programmatically? I can load custom cursors using included vi's but can't find a way to change the size - the cursor vi's are locked so I don't know what is going on behind them.

Thanks

Hi Jolt,
one solution could be to create your own big cursor and load it with the shipped vi´s.

Hope it helps.

Another alternative if you are running on Windows is to use the API, as explained here.

MikeS - thanks for the reply,

the problem here is that i don't just need a larger icon, i need to scale it based on user input (think of an inspection application). I could make a bunch but that seems combersome.

Thanks,

smercurio,

I had found that thread but the API example is written in 5.1, unfortunately I have wiped this machine several times since running 7.1 and would rather not reinstall if I can avoid it. (As I understand it 7.X can open the 5.X and THEN I can open in 8.X)

I will look around for a machine running 7 and go from there but any other suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks again!

I found a 7.1, converted the demo, and opened in 8.5 - this works well! thanks!
