I am learning directx. I am trying to create a fullscreen application, and I am just sort of confused about getting this hourglass cursor when I create a device. I added checking for a lost device and then when I alt+tab out and then back into the app, then the hourglass is gone, but it just confuses me why it is there when it is first created and does not go away. Of course, my window class was created with IDC_ARROW
