Hi,

for making animated cursors you can try Microsofts free AniEdit
together with your favorite graphics editor. I forgot the original
Microsoft URL but this site has the files, look out for AniEdit:
http://freepctech.com/pc/002/files003.shtml

I then put my animated cursor into the resources of my exe but loading
the cursor from resource didn't work. I finally stored the cursor as a
file resource (RT_DATA). Then on startup of my program I created the
cursor as a file from the resource and loaded it from that file. That
worked. If you need some code let me know.

Hope this helps,
Nick
