Is there a way to force the Win32 program to redraw a cursor? I am trying to write a program where when the user pushes the right mouse button the cursor changes to a new cursor using Set and LoadCursor, but windows doesn't redraw it until the mouse moves again unfortunately. I want to force it to redraw so that the user can see the change even if the mouse doesn't move.
Don't know, but since mouse movement (ie cursor movement)causes the cursor to be redrawn you might consider trying GetCursorPos to retrieve the cursor's position and then using that position with SetCursorPos to 'moves the cursor to the specified screen coordinates'.
Try using ShowCursor() to hide, and then show the cursor. This should force a redraw.
Can you get window handle to it and send a WM_PAINT message?
Thanks everyone, I got it working now using the SetCursorPos function like you suggested Ken.
