wxCursor create

void ( create)

Creates either a stock cursor (if cursor-name is non-nil) or a cursor loaded from a disk file (if filename and bitmap-type are non-nil).

Under X, the permitted cursor types in bitmap-type are:

• wxBITMAP_TYPE_XBM Load an X bitmap file

Under Windows, the permitted types are:

• wxBITMAP_TYPE_CUR Load a cursor from a .cur cursor file (only if USE_RESOURCE_LOADING_IN_MSW is enabled in wx_setup.h).
• wxBITMAP_TYPE_CUR_RESOURCE Load a Windows resource (as specified in the .rc file).
• wxBITMAP_TYPE_ICO Load a cursor from a .ico icon file (only if USE_RESOURCE_LOADING_IN_MSW is enabled in wx_setup.h). Specify x and y slot values.

Examples:

  ; Create a stock cursor
  (bind ?cursor (make-instance (gensym*)
     of wxCursor (cursor-name "wxCURSOR_PENCIL")))

  ; Create a cursor from a .cur file
  (bind ?cursor (make-instance (gensym*)
     of wxCursor (filename "figure.cur") (bitmap-type "wxBITMAP_TYPE_CUR")))

  ; Create a cursor from a .ico file
  (bind ?cursor (make-instance (gensym*)
     of wxCursor (filename "figure.icor") (bitmap-type "wxBITMAP_TYPE_CUR")
                 (x 10) (y 10)))
