A strange thing happened.

[Siekmanski]

It was included before this issue.

It was IDI_APPLICATION that messed things up for me.

here take a look how it uses -1 and MY_ICON 2
it also uses help popup and file menu and shortcuts in .rc file as code style instead of masm messagebox with text macros for caption and text

Hi Magnus,

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//
// Icon
//

// Icon with lowest ID value placed first to ensure application icon
// remains consistent on all systems.

This is exactly what JK pointed me at.

ID value: IDI_APPLICATION = 32512 ( was my application icon )
The ID value of the hand pointer icon was lower, hence my problem.
But it is solved now.

wonder what settings you exported your icon files with?
I tried inspired by this thread,but it blows up exe
first attempt is some simple drawing in paint png->ico
second attempt a Blonde.png->ico

They are PNG files.

I want to make it a PROC for cursorchanges,some I seen in games,cursor changes to different things depending on what it points to
must it be a 64x64 to work?
using 101,102,103,104 and I get exclamation mark,question mark and all kinds of default windows icons
trying to set my custom ICON it works as ICON
trying to set it as cursor,it shows circle(busy icon) and keeps going until I stop it with ctrl-alt-delete
