POINTER_VALUE

An integer value representing the bitmap pointer you want to use.

FILE_NAME

Description

If you do not specify a FILE_NAME, then the POINTER_VALUE must refer to one of the pre-defined Windows or PM pointer bitmaps.

To use the constants in the WINPTR.INC file, be sure to include the file.

Note that the set pointer statement is not designed to work in dialog regions and dialog boxes.
